Fuselage Center Section #15 - baggage area riveting

 Got started riveting the baggage compartment parts I primed together.

The KAI has you rivet these aft wing spar stub socket assemblies to the aft bulkhead.  They call out inserting a rivet in all the holes before pulling.  I left 2 just cleco'ed to hold the stuff together till I got a few rivets pulled.

Other side.

Boom and
Boom.... all done!
Nice and consistent tails.

Then they have you attach this standoff using a pulled rivet.

For the first time they have you use a couple washers on the rivet tail.

After it is pulled.  I assume this is to allow for proper grip length.
