Brief Description: Z Brackets: Drilling to right tank baffle
I drilled the inboard most z-brackets using the fuel tank baffle and ribs as a guide. I then removed the right leading edge from the spar to allow access to the outboard most z-bracket. The outboard most z-bracket was drilled once again using the baffle/rib as a guide. The remaining tank assembly was then cleco'ed to the in- and outboard most z-brackets. The tank skin and inner ribs were removed from the assembly, exposing the baffle. The baffe was the used as a guide to drill the remainder of the z-brackets.
