Brief Description: Riveting T-711 Stiffeners
|
|
After my first work session with the Right Tank, I decided to attempt to complete the T-711 Stiffeners on the Right and the Left Fuel Tank. I did this by incrementally increasing the size of the work I completed first on the Right tank, and then on the Left tank. I upsized my sealant mixtures to 3oz batches and then fed the sealant into plastic semco bottles, and cleaned up all of my work with Acetone, and switched to newer gloves. Once all my tools were clean, I began laying the stiffeners, taping off my work areas, squeezing oput beads of beads of sealant, and finally installing the rivets.
Then using my back riveting table, I set the rivets. Then went back and added sealant to the outer radius of the T-711 stiffener, and placed sealant over each rivet shop head. Overall, I was able to seal, set, rivet, and cover all of the T-711 Tank stiffeners in the left and right fuel tanks.
