Brief Description:  Spar - Countersink holes for #8 bolt for Platenuts

I had to depart from using Van's method to countersink. They state to use the platenut as the guide for the countersink pilot. But I found there to be too much play and the bit chattered and ruined the countersink. So I used an angle of aluminum as a back plate and that made smooth countersinks.
