When everything seemed to check out using the old "Eyeball MkI", I took a 1/8" punch and gently passed it through a number the tank-to-spar attachment holes to double check the alignmen. The 1/8" punch passed neatly through the skin's holes and through the nutplates on the inside of the spar flange - close enough to use as an alignment check but no threat to the threads on the nutplates at all. Everything seemed to align perfectly.
