Brief Description:  Left Main Spar - Final nutplates

Today was a productive day. The left main spar nutplates are installed satisfactorily.

I’m saying this because I realize that I haven’t countersunk deep enough the holes to compensate for the “thickness” of the primer in those holes. The rivet was flush when dropped into a freshly cut hole but once the primer was in, the head of the rivet would stand proud out of the hole. I have only 3 nutplates installed that way. No big deal, this isn’t structural. The rest has been countersunk properly.

The right main spar has been prepared and is ready for nutplates riveting.
