Finished Armrest Reinforcement Angles

I countersunk the reinforcement angles and dimpled the armrests.  After edge finishing the armrests, I primed and riveted the parts together.

Here’s a closeup of how tightly the angle fits against the radius of the armrest flange.  I was a little worried that the 0.063″ angle wouldn’t be stiff enough since there was quite a bit of flex when these were just clecoed on.  After riveting these, these are very stiff.  I’m really glad I didn’t go with the 0.125″ angle since that would have added a fair amount of weight.
