Bottom flanges for lower cowling drilled and clecoed in place.

Bottom flanges for lower cowling deburred, countersunk, and clecoed in place for riveting. I strongly suspect that they’ll need to be pop-riveted (I’ll find some Cherry rivets which fit) due to conflict between the squeezer yoke and the engine mount.

Yes, I could try to grind down my no-hole yoke, but I’m not interested in sacrificing a $125+ yoke for this one-off task.
