Wings, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 14)

During today’s session, I installed the remaining 32 K1100-08D nutplates on the Right Wing Outboard Bottom Skin and the Left Wing Inboard and Outboard Bottom Skins.  These nutplates will be used for the screws that will attach the six Wing Access Plates to the bottom of the Wings.

This is the outside of the Left Bottom Inboard Wing Skin showing the manufactured heads of the rivets attaching the eight nutplates.....

.....and on the inside.  AN426AD3-3.5 rivets were used to attach all 48 nutplates.

This is the outside of the Left Bottom Outboard Wing Skin with 16 nutplates attached.  In this picture, you can also see the “hole” that was cut in the Skin for the Pitot Tube Mast, along with the associated mounting/rivet holes.

Here is the nutplates attached on the inside and the opposite side of the Pitot Tube Mast “hole”.
