Fit bottom stringer; riveted stringer bushings

Mounting posts (bushings) for bottom stringer were cut-off to final length, deburred, and riveted to fuselage.  Back end of stringer was bent using a pipe-bender.  Our bottom stringer will have a larger bow than what is needed with standard gear, and this is due to the need for additional space to install the Grove gear through the stringer once fabric is in place.  The distance from the bottom surface of the grove gear to the center of the stringer was 3 3/8". (MC & EB).  Hours: 3
