I started today by working on re-dimpling the top edge of the W10-02 web doubler. I found that the original dimples did not fit well into the spar cap so I used a rivet to reset the dimple before final riveting to ensure a good fit. After reseting the dimples I continued with the flush rivets. I made up a new bolt for setting the rivets using a 3/8" bolt for the rivets between the top angle and the spar cap.

Today I continued to clean, prep, alodine and paint the components for the left main spar. I finished painting all of the small parts and got the larger web doublers alodined. Next will be the spar caps and the main spar web. I need a warm day that I can work on these outside.

I completed all of the up drilling today. Next I will take the spar apart and start the cleanup with scotch brite.

I finished up drilling the in board end of the left main spar. This is the portion with all of the web doublers. The next step will be to remove all of the doublers and then to up drill the remainder of the spar.

I completed all of the up drilling to #30 at the root end of the spar. Now I can take it apart and complete all of the rivet countersinks. I completed the counter sinking of all of the rivet holes and then proceeded to start up drilling to #21.
