Holes are cut into the top wing skin and doublers are installed.
The speedbrake cartridges are installed to the area, with added support from the ribs. Then there is a whole lot of wiring to do.
The wiring ends up as a push switch to deploy or retract the speedbrakes. If they do not deploy symmetrically, you get a momentary light for the one that did go up, then an automatic retraction. Nice safety feature.
They don’t look that imposing, but they do the job quite well.
