Brief Description:  Z Brackets: Mount Right Fuel Tank

As per the left side, I placed the right fuel tank on the spar, made sure that it ligned up properly to the right leading edge and then cranked down a bit with baggage tie-downs. The lower skin though kept popping out before the upper skin of the fuel tank lined up with the upper wing skin. I then used some old "angle" and cleco'ed it to the skin/spar to keep the lower fuel tank skin in place. Worked like a dream - got all the skins lined up perfectly.
