It is time to prepare the left wing for top skin riveting. I realized I still need to dimple the rear spar and give it a slight touch with a machine countersinking. Also, I slightly ajusted the stall warner's angle to reduce the travel of the vane to activate the warner. The front spar is drilled to 3/8" to accept the bushing for the stall warner wiring. One last thing is to tap the tie down bracket and drill the leading edge tie down hole to 1/2"

Dimpled rear spar is touched up with maching countersinking for better fit with skin
