Countersunk for the nutplates which will hold screws that attach the retainer ring to the landing light bracket. Scuffed up the back of the light bracket. At present I am thinking I will prime the back of the bracket and leave the front side shiny aluminum—throw around those lumens as much as possible. Began countersinking the backing strips. Will use NAS rivets to attach nutplates to both the bracket and the two backing strips.
