Made this special nutplate jig so that I could properly locate the mounting holes on the curved surface of the skin. This let me do it from the outside rather than trying to drill them from the inside out.
From here it was all off and on again iterations to fine tune the fit and the cutout clearances. Go slow, remove a little at a time and reinstall...rinse and repeat for as many times as it takes.
I also block sanded the mold seam ridges from the parts as well as used a block to straighten all the edges I have cut. Improved the consistency of the slot width and straightness of the slot sides. Use a block at all times if possible. It helps correct and prevent unevenness.
