Manual Reference:  
Brief Description:  ELT mounting 2, Rivit aft skin, Finish access plat

Primered the elt plate and angles with several coats.
Positioned the elt tray on the mount and rivited
Cleco on the angles and positioned in the fuselage to verify fit
match drilled a 3rd hole in the lower longeron
Drilled out the longeron holes to9/64 so that I can use cherrymax rivits to secure them
Drilled out the angle lounting holes to 9/64
Installed the 3 nut plates on each angle
Clecoed the assembly back in the fuse.
Putting off final install since My legs were starting to cramp in that tight space...

Installed the 12 an426ad3-5 rivits along the upper longeron on both sides of fuse from turtle deck aft to end leaving open the 3 hole locations that are for attaching the lower HS fairing. This too would be much simpler with the Turtle deck off! There are also a couple locations on each side that realy require a longer rivit than what is called for. I used a dash 6 instead

The two access covers in aft fuse were drilled and dimpled and primered on inside. Temp held in place with stainless #6 screws finger tight
