Brief Description: Refit bagage floors with nutplates
I decided to fit all the bagage area panels (except F-750-L&R) with nutplates and screws. This will allow installation under the bagage floor of gizmos such as avionics and the ELT. If I do, I'll have to keep in mind cooling as these compartments will be totally enclosed. Anyway, most builders do this, and it seems like a good idea for future flexibility. I used K1000 and K1100 nutplates for the jig. Except for lots of changing drill bits, reamers, and countersinks, it all went pretty well. I used NAS1097AD3-3.5 rivets from Wicks to install the nutplates. These worked well allowing me to countersink the ribs without enlarging the holes.
