Brief Description: Left tank preparation
|
|
I accomplished a number of miscellaneous tasks today including match drilling the tank attach bracket to the root rib and nose reinforcement plate, match drilled the fuel cap assembly and countersunk to accept dimples, match drilled the fuel drain, removed plastic from all the rivet lines on the tank skin, deburred all the tank skin holes, disassembled the tank and match drilled the stiffeners, dimpled all holes in left tank skin (rivets and screws), dimpled all the ribs, dimpled the stiffeners, deburred the ribs and finally, reassembled the tank to test fit dimpled components.
I am happy so far with the progress and overall results. Everything has followed the plan with no surprises.
