Step 5: Match-Drill the nutplate rivet holes into the F-101E Rudder cable  Angle as shown in Figure 4. The nutplates can be temporarily held in place with  AN3 bolts while the holes are drilled. Match-drill one rivet hole and cleco it before drilling the second. This will prevent the nutplate from rotating before the second hole is match-drilled.

Machine countersink the rivet holes in the rudder cable angle foe 3/32" flush rivets. Do not rivet the nutplates into place yet.
