Created the mounting holes for the 45R transponder using the Vans part that was made for mounting the master contactors. I realized as i was riveting in the top half that there may not be much clearance on the bottom to get the rivet puller that i have into the space to pull those rivets. With my current rivet puller, i don't have enough clearance. Scratched my head for a while and called it a night. I might try using either a wedge tool or a small piece of trailing edge wedge to get enough of an angle on it to pull those rivets with a hand squeezer.
