JVL’s RV-14: Finishing, AEROLED’s Sun Spot LX (Part 2)

This blog was created to memorialize the building process of my Van's Aircraft RV-14 and to satisfy the requirements for certification in the Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft category. It will also serve as a central location for ME to reference in the future on processes and techniques I used during the build. Additionally, it will allow my family, friends, and other interested builders the opportunity to follow along during my build…..and might be helpful to someone along the way.

Finishing, AEROLED’s Sun Spot LX (Part 2)

After preparing parts during the previous session, today I treated them with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo Primer. After they dried, I installed the eight K1000-06 nutplates on the two W-00016B AEROLED’s Sun Spot LX Brackets using AN470AD3-3 rivets (easily hand squeezed).

Lastly, I sprayed them with flat black paint. They are now ready to be installed with the landing light (during a later session).
