Left Wing Flap/Aileron Hinges

We installed the hinge brackets on the left wing for the flaps and ailerons. Twelve brackets total were installed (6 for the flap, and 6 for aileron).  These parts were previously cleco'd in place... so we first removed them, then deburred them, then sanded the mating surfaces, and next cleaned the surfaces with acetone.  Then they were installed using Hysol epoxy adhesive and rivets per the manual.  Below is an example showing a set of hinge brackets that was installed for the flap.  Hours = 2.5
