Brief Description:  Avionics access door; brake return springs

Still waiting for the arrival of my drill bushing so I can complete the elevator horn drilling.

Today I continued fitting and drilling the platenut attach holes and screw holes in the bulkhead avionics access door and the stiffener along its edge. There are several tricky areas where flush rivets will have to be installed, and their shop heads and manufactured heads will have to be oriented in a very particular way. I marked these locations so I won't forget, since it'll be a few days before I can get back in the shop.

I also installed the second brake return spring. I located the spring collars about 3/4" down from the top attach bolts and each side.
