Brief Description:  Pmag Blast Tube and Cowl Pin Covers

Well got a short session in on the last day of the year due to other commitments.

I got the holes prepped for the nutplates in the cowl for retaining the cowl pin covers. Then got the nutplates installed.

I looked at the blast tubes for the Pmag installations and wanted to try to fab a holder that would keep the tube where it needs to be. Rob and I got them in the other session with the caveat that was going to look at them and see if there is a better way to hold them in place.

I found that an adel clamp with a short piece of aluminum may do a really nice job, so I started fabricating one before it was time to head in for NYE relaxing.
