Panel Drilling

Spent around 2h30m today working only on panels. First I concluded the front top tunnel plate, enlarging a bit the hole for the reverse box lever. After that, drilled holes with (around) 10cm spaces between centres to take the bolts. These are 4mmØ that mate with M4 rivnuts (requiring 6mmØ holes). After drilling the holes had to deburr the opposite side to make it flush, so that it sits nicely.

Then I taped the tunnel sides together and marked one for drilling, also (around) 10cm between centres, on the other edges. Drilled the two plates together to save some work. I haven't deburred these because I still need to mark and drill where the plates can be riveted to a vertical chassis beam, for added strength.
