Skybolt’s cleco retainers stuck to strips of masking tape and ready to be set in place for drilling.
The first few cleco retainers taped in place.
I set one little neodymium magnet on the underside of the cleco retainer, dropped the another on top of the cowling, let it find its center, then drew rough crosshairs alignment marks around it, removed the magnets, and drilled.
I was able to immediately cleco perhaps 90% of them. The rest need to be walked a little, but no big deal; they’re all going to get opened up considerable for the Camlocs.
Top cowl drilling and clecoing underway…
