Clecoed the F-750 Aft Baggage Side Covers on

The first problem I see is that I should have pre-dimpled the nutplate rivet holes in the F-724 ribs before installing them. My hand squeezer won't fit behind the flange to dimple these holes. So I will have to use my vise grip dimplers to dimple those holes. I don't like using the vise grip dimpler because it just doesn't do as good a job of dimpling as the hand squeezer. Also, if you close the vise grips all the way down, then when they POP open, you can make some dents in surrounding materials. How do I know? Don't ask. I updated my previous entry here so no one will make my mistake.
