Brief Description:  Left Wing Dzus Fasteners Complete

Attached the dzus fastener springs to the metal strips the wing locker door rests on when closed (called dzus strips in the plan). This involved

1. Aligning a dzus spring with a fastener poking up through the faster-sized hole in the dzus strip
2. Marking the first rivet hole and drilling it out
3. Attaching the dzus spring to the dzus strip with a cleco through the rivet hole
4. Re-checking the fastener alignment
5. Drilling out the rivet hole for the other end of the aligned spring
6. Removing the spring and deburring the rivet and dzus holes
7. Crimping the rivet holes to countersink the rivets that hold the springs
8. Riveting the springs to the dzus strip.

After completeing all 6 fasteners, I test fit the wing locker door and dremeled out any holes that were slightly mis-aligned. All done.
