I continued today on the layout of the tabs on the passenger side for the lower cowl based from FSF-R bracket. To be in symmetry, I used the same spacing with 5 brackets below FSF-R.

During drilling I wanted to make an additional rivet hole due to a hole being close to a bracket tab end.

I had a bad day... as you can see, the drill wandered on the steel plate and messed up the hole in the fuselage skin. Fortunatly no cracks or anything like that and it's an additional hole. I finally got through but the hole went to the left so also edge distance there will be crap. I'm just going to put a rivet in it and fortunatly the rive head covers the missdrilled hole.

A little higher up the row, I also made an additional rivet hole. This one went fine.

As I mentioned the bad hole is also moved inwards and is out of line. There goes my Grand Master Prize Champions title at Oshkosh.

Countersunk and deburred all backets and primed both pilot and passenger side brackets

Once dried, I placed them back where they will belong.
