Brief Description:  riveting and final install of conduit and wire rou

Having cut and fitted the conduit I final installed it in place, as mentioned before I employed a much simpler method that does away with multiple adel clamps and brackets, it too was in two parts with a break at the piot box. All loose wires were run along the inside edges and away from moving parts and access, ending where they can be spliced into the main lines running through the conduit.

After prepping the skin as described in last logs I installed in place the new skin and began the riveting, as before from root towards the tip, working from the top(actually the trailing edge) towards the leading edge at the bottom and with the skin peeled back about 3-4 holes away from the hole being worked. This technique works well and allows me full access to most rivets without help.

Ordered a much better riveting mushroom head which incorporates a rubber guard and a swivel joint so that divets and 'smileys' become all but impossible - a welcome tool after my mess up of this wing's first skin.
