Brief Description:  Z Brackets - Priming and rivet nutplates

I started by rivetiing the K1000-3 nutplates to the spar with the AN426AD3-4 rivets as called out on the plans. These rivets were shot using a rivet gun, swivel flush set and a tungston bucking bar. Fairly close quarters getting the bucking bar in there but no big mission in the end.

I then proceeded to shoot a coat of primer on the Z brackets and once dry, I rivetted the nutplates to the brackets with the aid of the pneumatic squeezer - I really love that machine! ;)
