I put on a new main door striker. and continuing with my hatred of pop rivets and sheet metal screws I install self locking stainless steel 8/32 Keenserts to install the striker plate
As stated in my last post I don't care for sheet metal screws so I installed sealed nutplates to mount the new LED lights. Below is a photo sequence from stepping up the hole size to #10 for the drill fixture, drilling #40 holes using the fixture, cleaning up filiform corrosion using a 3M bristle cone brush, countersinking the holes using a microstop with a #40 pilot to the final install of the nutplates
Kip, do you have to seal those nutplates on the backside with Vulkem (or other)? Forgive me if you answered that already.

No, you don't have to, but I will. I also need to seal up the wire hole because the new LED's lights have the wires comming out at a different location.
Can you tell us more about the 3M bristle cone brush? It looks like something that I could use but I have never heard of them before.
Thanks,

Sure they work great at removing minor surface imperfections without digging in. We get them from one of our consumables suppliers. After looking them up they are actually called "Bristle Discs Rolocs" different grits 50, 80, and 120are available.
I found them at these sites
