Resumed Work on Baffles and Plenum

I riveted all of the plenum mounting angles to the baffles over the past couple of days then reinstalled them on the engine and drilled the plenum mounting holes out for #8 screws.

I’m installing nutplates that span all of the corners, so I installed them on the outside in order to drill the rivet holes.

After countersinking the holes, I riveted the nutplates on.  I only did the corners while the baffles were mounted on the engine since there is some relative movement when the baffles are off the engine.  I still have to install nutplates on all of the other holes, but that can happen when the baffles come off the engine for the last time.
