The latch for the pilot side door was re-drilled (correctly this time around), painted black, and installed.
Both the front and rear floor pans in the baggage area were installed with sheet metal tapping screws that came in the kit. Nut plates were installed in the front floor pan for an inspection cover. This cover is right above the transponder/ADSB antenna and will allow for much easier inspection than removing the entire floor. After installing the floor pans, the flap pulleys were reinstalled and torqued down.

The aircraft dataplate was riveted on with a stainless steel backer plate. This is located under the tail on the pilot side.
The Garmin GPS antenna was torqued down. Also applied a very thin bead of silicone caulk on the bottom side prior to torqueing the screws to keep it weatherproof. There is a thin metal plate under the fabric that serves as a ground plane. The transponder/ADSB antenna on the bottom side was also torqued down after first making and installing a foam gasket to seal up any gaps between it and the fuselage.
