Brief Description:  Replace bracket, add nutplates

Did some clean-up of items on the elevator. Drilled out the rivets in the servo cover and trim bracket.

Replaced the trim bracket that I had buggered up with the chuck of the drill with a new one.

Upsized the inspection plate holes to accommodate nutplate screws. This was my first time using the hand dimpler tool. Dimpled the attachment holes in nutplates. Had to grind down the side of the die a bit to clear the center hole for the screw. Positioned the nutplates upside down on the elevator and started screw from the inside. Drilled one #40 hole per nutplate and cleco'd. Then drilled the other #40 hole in each nutplate. Removed nutplates and dimpled the #40 holes in the elevator skin. Positioned nutplates under the skin, cleco'd, and riveted with A3 rivets. Attached servo inspection plate with screws. With the dimpling of the rivet locations, the cover sits flat on the elevator skin.

I plan on using nutplates on all inspection covers and various locations inside the cabin to provide easier access than rivets.
