Rivet Nutplate to Seat Floors

Today I riveted the nutplates to the seat ramp floors.  I used pulled and squeezed rivets.  I dimpled the nutplates and clecoed them in place.  I then installed the rivets.  All went well.
After installing the nutplates I prepped the control column by using a 3/8" and a 1/4" reamer to clean the powder coating from the holes.  After clearing the holes I inserted the control column through the lightening holes and I am ready to bolt it to the control column brackets.
