I removed the boot cowl sheet metal, and drilled, countersunk, dimpled, and deburred for nutplates, wiped with MEK, cleansed and scuffed with alkaline cleanser and alodined the various panels. I riveted in the 6-32 nutplates (I'm out of countersunk 8-32 nutplates, so I'll have to wait for those to come in). I enlisted the help a small screw with locknut which helps a lot to rivet the nutplates. Along the way, I prepared the mount for the avionics NACA duct inlet.
