Several small steps.

Not shown, but fabricated the wingtip L-angle reinforcements. Forgot to do that earlier. Will rivet when the wing has moved to the wing stand.

Applied thread sealer to both the 45 deg fuel elbow as well as the tank finger screen. Installed into the tank. Measured and cut the 3/8" ID fuel hose; lubed with silicone and slid thru the bushing held by the aft spar; routed to the end of the wing as was done with the right wing.

Crimped electrical connectors on the remaining ground wire as well as the signal lead for the fuel level sensor. Riveted the ground wire to the wing rib; routed sensor signal lead thru the aft spar and out the end of the wing.

Installed the wing root angle; used fluting pliers to adjust it to fit the bend of the wing rib. Drilled pilot holes (#40) and cleco'd. Drilled-up the inboard holes of the wing root top skin (inboard is next to the fuselage). Cleco'd.
