While I was at it, I decided to prepare the U-00002 Wheel Fairing Brackets. All the holes were deburred, edges cleaned and nutplate attach holes were countersunk.
This pictures shows the four completed Brackets. Following their preparation above, the two Brackets on the left were treated with Alumiprep and Alodine, sprayed with Akzo Primer, appropriate nutplates installed and sprayed with a flat black top coat of paint. The two Brackets on the right are steel, so they were not treated with Alumiprep and Alodine. However, they did get sprayed with Akzo Primer, appropriate nutplates installed and sprayed with a flat black top coat of paint. They are now competed and waiting to be installed at some point in the future.
