Short Description: Close up right tank (18-8)
|
I finally finished up one of the tanks, the right tank. I prepped everything and made sure to watch Vans instructional video one more time. Installing the baffle wasn’t too hard and way les messy than doing the ribs. The only thing I wish I had was a pneumatic squeezer. I have the main squeeze, which is nice, but there are a lot of rivets on the baffle. I was sore the next day. I buttoned up all the rivets, then flipped the tank over (aft side down) to let the pro seal sag towards the seam. The next day I installed the z-brackets. I’ll wait a week before I do a pressure test.
