Deburred Baggage Floor Splice, Flap Motor Channel, and Brackets. Did a trial fit...found brackets difficult to insert. I checked 3 times to see if I was interpreting dwgs correctly. Instructions state "pull flap motor channel aft as required when installing the flap motor brackets". Due to divergent shape, they are tight until in actual position...then fit and align well. Put I was straining to get them installed. [ note: during next day preparing to re-assemble, I noticed rivets for bottom of channel weren't called out until Fig 2, which is after instructions to pull the channel back. Duh...! I'd been assuming top and bottom would be riveted prior to inserting brackets, so didn't remove clecos at bottom. THAT makes it much easier to pull channel back to slip in brackets. It pays to scrutinize every word and every detail dwg all the way through. ] Primed parts, ready to rivet.
