Hey all,
Technique question that I haven't been able to track down on the forums. I've laid out my firewall and drilled all primary holes for cable and wire passthroughs. I'm going to drill nutplate holes today, and I'm NOT looking forward to trying to dimple the nutplate holes in stainless steel using my pop rivet dimpler set with copper nails.
Any recommendations? For the holes near the top of the firewall I'm going to muscle the DRDT-2 up in the air and have a partner work the lever.
For the lower holes where I can't do this, I was thinking of using oops rivets and giving a tiny countersink to the steel with my deburring tool. This will PROBABLY work... but are there any "better" solutions out there?
Thanks all!
