Brief Description:  Control column mount assembly (21-10)

I spend some time deburring all the pieces and getting ready to prime. Once all the edges were deburred I assembled it and final drilled all the holes, then took it apart and deburred the hole edges and polished all the surfaces with scotch bright pad. Reading some of the build logs, like Marty's I found that some people had some issues with the bearing binding up. So I took their advice and riveted all the LP4-4 rivets first, removing one cleco at a time. Then I started with the solid rivets and alternated each one by squeezing just a little and working my way around on each rivet (star pattern like), until they were totally set. That seemed to work well, but I also recommend adding a cleco spring clamp on the other side of the solid rivets to make sure it doesn't start to spread. Anyway, they seemed to turn out well.
