Brief Description: Install DuckWorks landing lights. Part 3

Today I installed the platenuts on the landing light lens brackets. Image 1 shows what happens to the work bench in very shoet order. It was totally clear an hour ago. All these tools to attach platenuts. Image 2 shows the perfect ham and cheese omlet. I make the best omlets. Really. It was perfect. Image 3 shows the finished product. Make sure you make 2 pair of them. If you get in auto pilot you will end up with 3 of one kind and 1 of the other. Oh, the instructions say to use 3.5 length rivets for the platenuts. I think they are too long. The 3's worked perfect.
