Hardware removed for cleaning

Gil Bourrier, Rick Riewe and Doug Pender (rht-lft) figuring out how to re-assemble the lower wing attachment hardware after it was cleaned.The British method of 'safteying' nuts was used - the nut was tightened and then secured by damaging the bolt threads with a hammer. To remove the nut one has to carefully clean up the threads! Steel parts are treated with zinc oxide before re-installing them on the wing.
