Fabricated the lens backing plates for the l/h wing. Had to custom make these since the opening is wider than the stock ones are designed for. I made these straps from .032 to help stiffen up that area a little bit and elected to go with 4 #6 fasteners on upper & lower surface rather than 3. The spacing works out to be 2 inches. I botched the first set I made by not leaving enough edge distance for the outbd end of the end nut plate. Didn't have any one leg nutplates on hand, and I hate those things anyway, so I just made new ones.

Match drilled the lens, hand countersunk with a dogleg/debur bit, attached the backing plates with double sided foam tape.

Installed nut plates in the 2 outbd ribs. This is how the mounting plate will attach. I dimpled these holes and one of them was a real pain to get to. Countersunk nutplates to match and attached inbd ones with pull fasteners rather than chance beating up the nose rib trying to buck it with limited access.

I also installed nutplates on the FlyLed board and painted the custom mounting plate that I previously fabricated.

Next time I should be able to pull wires and get this thing pretty much wrapped up on the l/h wing.
