I am about to start working on the elevator trim support plate and I need to dimple for a #6 screw and its associated nut plate.
However, I have a weird problem. I have a 5/32 dimple die and a #6 dimple die, but I cannot tell which is which! There are no markings on the sides of the dies, nor on the backs or shanks. One of them is slightly smaller than the other, but I have no idea which one is which.
The hole in the E-615PP for the nutplate and its screw are pre-drilled, and one of these dies actually fits into the hole snugly but the other doesn't. I have also not drilled on these holes yet, as the plans don't necessarily call for me to.
So, should I just use the dimple die that fits in the pre-drilled hole for the #6 screw on this plate and then mark it as the #6 die? Or am I missing some more obvious here.
Thanks!
