Latch painting prep

I disassembled the latch assembly and cleaned the parts for painting. I’ll probably leave the latch itself bare aluminum, but I’m painting the rest of it to match the cockpit.

I received an order of several odd sized drill bits that I needed for various things. That allowed me to attach the knob to the latch.

I’ve had the flap push rods on the bench for quite a while waiting to be tapped. I cut and primed them a while ago when I was finishing up the last few fuselage items. After my tapping session yesterday, I figured I might as well finish them up. I drilled them to size and tapped both ends. They turned out great.
