Review your Prints before getting too excited and prematurely rivet

Review before closing up is my rule.. I did not do a comprehensive look just a quick check. Now I will be drilling out rivets to install an an3 bolt in my rear strut bracket on my fully riveted right wing!! Hopefully it looks as good the 2nd time as the firat!!

INSTEAD CUT A 5.5 IN DIAMETER ACCESS HOLE, THEN RIVET A 6 IN COVER PLATE WHEN YOU ARE DONE INSTALLING THE BOLT.  I DID THIS IN MANY AREAS.  THESE COVERS MAKE THE ANNUAL EASIER.
