Aileron Pulley Bracket

After a few days away from working on the airplane we finally got back to installing the aileron pulley brackets.  We double and triple checked the location of the "top" bracket to make sure of its alignment.  Once we were satisfied we drilled the four mounting holes and cleco'd as we went.  Both pulley bracket holes were deburred before we cleaned the spar and brackets with sandpaper and acetone.  Hysol epoxy was put on the bottom side of the bracket and each was riveted in place with a total of eight CCP-44 rivets.  After 30 minutes of setup time, the excess epoxy was smoothed to create nice fillets.  Hours: 1
