May 29, 2008 - Match-drilled Spinner Holes
Next item of business with the spinner is to drill it to the mounting plates. First I have to drill the holes in the spinner. With the spinner on the airplane, I marked on the spinner where the mounting plates flanges were. Then I took off the spinner and marked out six evenly spaced spots for the front mounting plate. I used the "tape" method to evenly space them.
I really took my time doing this and triple-checked my work before drilling.
The bottom was a little different in
that you have 14 holes, seven on each side. I evenly spaced the
seven holes using the tape method
again.
After the spinner holes were drilled,
I match-drilled the spinner to the mounting plates using the spinner as a
template.
