Brief Description:  Sec 30 rework

I had a little play in the steps, because of the AN3 bolts being drilled a little oblong. Additionally, you can't really tignten an AN3 bolt much or you will over torque the threads. So Prior to priming the steps, I removed them and drilled them for AN4 bolts, I pondered whether or not to put in an inspection/access plate above the bolt. innitiall I wanted to do this, but after considering if there was a problem, there was no way you could get a wrench on the nut from the access plate. If a problem developed it was going to be just about as easy to remove the baggage floor panel. What Iended up doing was drilling theough both the BAggage floor skin and the bottom fuse skin with a #30 drill 9per the plans. This is really just a 'pointer' so that if some play developed in the step down the road, i can go in at these two points with a step drill and open them up so that I can get a socket on both the top and bottom. I bought some 'snap on cap's/covers that are 1 1/4" that can be put back in place where the holes are drilled (if necessary).Primed the steps and reinstalled. Torqued the AN 4 bolts to 65" lbs, and got a really good and tight fit this time.
