Brief Description:  More Left Flap Work

One last working of the Brackets and Ribs. Deburring all of that and dimpling the Ribs with the SubStructure Dies. There are two holes on each flange of the Ribs at the trailing edge end that are impossible to dimple by conventional means. Again, I had to fabricate a female dimple die this time using a large piece of angle stock and lightly ramming in the male die with a backrivet set. A little weird but worked very well (Image 1). All Skins were cleaned and primed. The Spar was cleaned and primed. All of the Ribs and Bracket Parts were cleaned in Alumiprep and Alodined. Now all of the Left Flap parts are ready for final assembly and riveting.
