I also dimpled the access hole flanges on all the bottom skins. You can
see that I had to grind down the sides of my #8 dimple die so it would clear
the nutplate dimples on either side. Yes that's right, I dimpled the skin
for the nutplates. (so sue me ;-)
Actually that custom die worked great for dimpling the nutplates too. It was
small enough to dimple the ears of the K1100 nutplates and since it makes tank
die sized dimples, the nutplates nest very nicely over the skin dimples.

Here you can see my technique for installing the nutplates. Cleco on a nutplate,
screw a screw into the nutplate (the screw has been cut down so it only screws
one thread into the nutplate), install one rivet, remove cleco, install other rivet,
remove screw, wham, bam, thank you, maam.
