Brief Description:  Baggage Door inner skin riveting

After competing the riveting of the outer skin of the Baggage Door in common with the forward and aft ribs, removed from the fuse to complete riveting the inner skin where in common with the hinge angle and baggage door outer rib. Discovered these rivets are flush pop rivets, but I had not dimpled the inner skin or outboard, forward and aft ribs, or countersunk the hinge angle to accept the dimpled inner skin.

No problem completing the dimple of the inner skin, outboard forward and aft ribs, and counter sink the hinge angle all where in common with the inner skin panel. Re-clecoed the inner skin to the outboard rib, forward and adt rib, and hinge angle.

Re-installed on the fuse, re-strapping in place so the door conforms to the fuse skin. Climbed back inside the fuse to pop rivet the inner skin panel to the forward and aft ribs, starting in the middle and working my way out as per spec.

Removed door to begin work on the lock assembly.
