ALL READINGS ARE WITHIN THE NSC/50 PERCENT RANGE IAW SB 208A.  AREA WAS TREATED WITH ACF 50.  A DETAILED VISUAL INSP WAS COMPLETED AND NO SIGNIFICANT CORROSION OR OTHER DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  A TOTAL OF 32 AN426-5 RIVETS WERE REPLACED (10 RIVETS IN FWD FLANGE AND 22 RIVETS IN AFT FLANGE) BETWEEN WS 28.5 TO 50.75.  WE PLAN TO INSPECT THE RT WING IN THE SAME AREA AT THE NEXT SHOP VISIT.
