F1042 - Nutplate Installation

I am deep inside section 28. On the F1042, page 28-3 shows 5 nut plate being installed but does not mention the two other nut plates on the opposite web.

A quick look through the plans and I could not find these nutplates being installed. There are holes punched for nutplates but I cannot find where I install them?

See page 29-18 step 1. The F-1042B-L clip ( see page 29-12 ) and forward side skin must be in place before you can install those nutplates.
 
Yep - as Brendon mentions, these nutplates wait for the FWD side skin. The little clips (F-1042B and F-1042C) will need to stay clecoed for awhile. You'll lose them in the abyss that is Sect 29 and wonder where you placed them. Setting those last rivets for the nutplates was a happy day!

Stick with what you've got and build on.
