We manufactured the tie down bracket for the left wing (used when the airplane needs to be tied down outside). After we cut the bracket to size (on the new bandsaw), we match drilled it to the spar. We next connected and match drilled the platenuts, countersunk the rivet holes, deburred, prepped and primed the bracket. Once that was done we attached the platenuts and then started over. We learned that clecos are not the right way to align platenuts -- always use the screw or bolt!
The plans for the attache bracket that we needed to build.
