Prepping front deck parts and a small boo-boo - 3 hours

 I began the process of prepping and de-bring all of the front deck parts for priming. 


 As I was working through the pieces, checking that all edges are filed, and all holes are reamed and deburred. I have to final ream the attach clips on the forward canopy decks. Simple enough, but it turns out I had inadvertently clecoed the left attach angle to the right forward canopy deck and ran the #30 ream through it. I noticed it straight away but not after I got the ream through it....I had ob-longed the holes on the right forward canopy deck.   


I'm scratching my head as what to do with this. Normally I would redo the canopy deck but this isn't a structural piece at all. All it does is help hold the instrument panel. And a new canopy deck will be very difficult to redo as I really really do not want to run a drill bit through the holes all ready drilled in the longerons. That part is structural!
