Tail Cone Riveting

Riveted the aft most bulkhead.

 Flush rivets this side for VS spar to sit flat.

 Main HS attach bulkhead.


 Rudder cable clamp nutplates.

 Yes, you need to dimple the mounting ears for rivets that are installed on dimpled mounting holes.
No...it won't hurt the nutplate and it won't damage your dies.

 Yep, they dimple nicely....

Installed the nutplates for the inspection cover plate.


 Riveted the angle to the battery/bellcrank mount plate ribs.  The front two holes on the right side do not get rivets at this time.

Then I riveted on the nutplates for the mount plate.  It is all removable.  I used NAS1097 rivets to mount the nutplates.  Pay attention because the front two nutplates on both sides are larger ones for bolts.
