The Murphy Builders Site

I'm installing the floor in my rebel and in most areas the outer skin is
already riveted in so I'm only going to have about 2" from the backside of
the floor channel flange to the outer skin. Up till now when I run into
this situation I just unscrew the end off my deburring tool and work it
around with my fingers. It's a slow process and my fingers get cramped
after just a few. Well there's a bunch of holes in these floor channels and
I'd like to find an easier way. How are you guys doing it? Would it be
acceptable to run a small flat file across the backside of the flanges and
follow it up by wiping the backside with scotchbright?

You used aluminum oxide and not garnet sand paper, right? Just want everyone
to understand the difference. Garnet paper will cause a corrosion issue.
