Rivets and small kit parts stored and labeled
I had to buy another storage container. I got the new green one at Lowes for $17. It's a ripoff because it's poorly designed and fragile. I looked at 6 of these at Lowes before I found one that wasn't busted up in some way. UPDATE - 3/13/2006 I didn't realize until I started working on the wing spar how important it was to keep track of the ID numbers of all of the bolts, nuts, washers and especially nutplates. There are several varieties of nutplates. My advice to other builders is keep the little plastic bags that come with each with the kit. The front of each bag has the ID number of each component in the bag. There is also a detailed list and count of every small part that comes in the kit. Sometimes you may have to check what you have against that list. By using the process of elimination, you can easily identify each nut, bolt, washer and platenut, ie 12 of these, 25 of those...you get the idea. Luckily I found the plastic bags in the trash can and went back marked each storage drawer front with the ID numbers of what was in each.
