January 24, 2009: Riveting step attach angles, nutplates, etc.

Pg. 21-18, Riveting the Step Attach Angles, corner skins and installation of nuteplates/snap bushings. All went well with riveting bulkhead attach angles, etc. I'm still a bit uncomfortable with using the correct torque on the bolts but will continue my study of this and asking for advice along the way. Using the table provided by Van's and torqued the step bolts to 60 inch pounds.

Installation of the bushings came next, followed by work on the step floors (pg. 21-19, steps 1-2).
