Brief Description:  Vert Stab work

I decided to not use plastic snap grommets for the wire conduit from the top rib of the vert stab to the bottom rib for the added doubler I made. I found if I drill an 11/16' hole in the doubler/rib and bottom rib that the corregated conduit fits perfectly and tight in these holes. This save 2 pieces and having to secure the grommets with sealant. I enlarged the previous drilled 5/8" holes to 11/16" in the lower LE rib and the top rib and doubler. Fit checked the conduit and it is perfect. Dimpled all ribs and both spars for the AN426AD3 rivets. Also dimpled VS-706 rib and doubler plate to secure together woth AN426AD rivets. Fit checked contersunk holes for the NAS1097 rivets for the nut plates and had to countersink most of them a little deeper with a few more twists of my debur bit. Need to dimple the skin and the Vert Stab and will be ready for prime and assembly.
