| Now, on to the nutplates. Another nutplate factory line starting up. I did these a little different than my usual slow process, where I put a screw in the middle for alignment, cleco one side, drill and countersink the other, move the cleco, drill and countersink the other hole. Nutplates really do not require that much accuracy. Basically, I drilled all three holes without the nutplate and deburred. Then I countersunk one hole on each nutplate, and set the rivet. Finally, I countersunk the remaining holes and set the rivet. Probably doesn't save much, but it felt simpler. |
