Today I dimpled a whole pile of nutplates. I riveted 4-nutplates to the top flange of the step floor bulkhead. I dimpled the #30 and #40 holes at the inboard edges of the step floors. I installed 8-each nutplates as instructed. I then began to rivet the step floors in place using the flush and pulled rivets. I also installed the corner nutplates at the front corner edge of the floors where they meet the inboard ribs. What a trick that was to get the nutplates oriented in the blind space they are located in.
I riveted the right step floor in place. I will finish riveting the left floor tomorrow.
