Wings, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 35)

In Part 34, the right Lens was installed in the “pre-punched” landing light opening in the right Wing.  During this work session, I installed the Lens in the same opening on the left Wing.  I used the same method as discussed in Part 34.....and here is the result.  After completing all the required trimming of the Lens, these are the attach holes stepped to 5/16” with a step bit.  As in Part 34, I made the holes this large to completely surround (but not touch) the dimpled holes in the wing skin in an attempt to help prevent the Lens from cracking.


The holes in the Wing Skin were dimpled to accept the AN507C632R6 attach screws and the Lens was installed in the Wing.

Here are a couple pictures of the upper and lower W-00018 Backing Plates.  This is the lower plate.....
