Brief Description:  Right wing fuel tank #14

It was a little cold in the workshop tonight. Had to put on some long johns and crank the little space heater I have. It was only 6 degrees farenheit (-14 C) outside and the workshop was not to far off.

Mixed up a small batch of proseal, cleaned the area of the T-410 inside and outside with acetone on the outboard rib and wet set the rivets in place. Once done, I completely covered both sides with proseal. Overkill, you bet! Necessary? For some, no, but for me, it's piece of mind and hopefully no leaks. I'm certain my left tank won't have so much of it.

I added proseal to the T-405 and T-410 and clecoed into place. I'll let it sit for a few days before riveting. I'll have to remove the fuel return line in order to get the bucking bar comfortably to rivets the 405/410 in place.

Getting close to sealing this tank up. I will countersink the skins a little more for the baffle so that I don't have any issues with the rivets as a result of the proseal.
