I removed the weights and level from the piece and checked to
make sure everything was aligned and cured. I then marked and drilled the lip
for the lock plates. Deburred the holes and then dimpled them to receive the
flush rivets. I riveted the lock plates into place. I installed the bottom rear
baggage panel and then the top to check fit. Everything was in order and fit as
it should.
With both panels in place I verified the boundaries of the pieces in
relation to the fuselage tubing to make sure there was enough room to apply covering in the
baggage area. Some very minor trimming was required on both panels as well as
rounding the corners. I then deburred all edges, holes and corners with a sanding
block. I reinstalled both panels to verify fit, perfect.
