Brief Description:  Final rivits in aft baggage floor. Rivit in floors

Forgot to bring home camera so pics on hold.

Today I rivited the front edge of rt and left floors down to the nut plates beneath. I had ordered some nut plate cherry max rivits that worked great. They kinda get stuck in the tool but I simply use a mandrel of another rivit to push it back thrugh the tool. These rivits run anywhere from 40 cents each to over a dollar each on line so they can get expensive but they work great for this small task. Only needed 16 and made the task much easier than trying to buck A N rivits.

I then installed about 90 LP 4-3 pull rivits to secure the cabin floors.

Finished riviting the baggage area..
