Pilot drilled front longerons. Marked brake hinges and bent into curved shape on bench vise. Used a hammer and block of wood to make the curve. Drilled the holes in the brake pedal and tube and upsized to #20. Deburred and corrosion protected. Riveted using the stainless steel rivets.
Repositioned the fuselage to get a better angle and lower the assembly for fuselage joining later.
