Brief Description:  Dimpled Aft Holes in Top of Rudder

The last hole on each side of the top of the rudder needed to be dimpled. The pneumatic squeezer would not fit in the small gap, so I got creative. I drilled a #30 hole in a 1/8" piece and countersunk it a bit oversize. A washer was SuperGlued in place on the back side of the dimpled piece. The washer was used to add room for the male probe of the dimple die, so that it would not hit the yoke. The pneumatic squeezer yoke was swapped out for the no-hole yoke. The piece was then placed in position. The squeezer was then put over the piece and the dimple die was placed in the hole. The dimple was then made on each side.
