2 hrs. last night and this morning on the nose wheel spats.

Taping and clamping the spat halves together.  Excellent fit.

Starting to drill out and cleco the holes (there are slight dimples where they should go).

One side all done.

Saw a tip from Jean (via Jim) to use the hand reamer to enlarge the holes to fit the M4 rivnuts.  I agree with this approach as it results in a more precise location vs. a chucking reamer in a drill.

Since the material is soft vs. aluminum, don't over-pull the rivnuts.  Also make sure they're going in straight as you pull, as it's easy for it to be pulled at an angle.

One side done.  I'll finish tonight.
