Title: Fitting lower skin , drill leading edge (left wing)
Clecoed bottom skin from rear to front, checked for clearance around aileron and flap hinge arms. When we made it to the front spar with clecos I double checked for square, used the vise-grip adapted forming tool to place a very slight turned down edge on the leading edge of the lower wing skin. Then, match drilled the #40 holes in the skin out to #30 while simultaneously going through the leading edge/spar. Started in middle and clecoed every other hole as I worked out. When done with drilling I deburred the skin holes and then used a 120 degree dimple dies in squeezer to dimple the front edge of the lower skin. Next I used a 120 degree countersink bit in a cage to countersink the leading edge/forward spar to accept the dimpled skin and countersink rivets. Pictures not in order
