Brief Description: Drill and cleco left flap for A5 rivets
Useful "tools:" See Fig. 1
- Mechanic's creeper seat. Drilling and clecoing are greatly eased by this seat from the auto parts store. The seat really helps an old timer. - Rubber faced knit gloves. These inexpensive gloves give excellent touch traction and tactile sensitivity. Plus the rubber separates my hands from the MEK-based laquer thinner I use to clean parts. They keep my hands warm when my wintertime garage cools down to ~45° and they protect my hands from sharp edges when I deburring, e.g., inside the elevator. I like 'em.
1. Drilled the left flap to 1/8" and then to #20 for the A5 rivets. The cheap, HF 1/8" drills performed well, and the holes accepted the #30 clecoes. See Fig. 2
2. Redrilled the ends of the hinges so that I could run the safety wire parallel to the front face of the flap. See Fig. 3
