Brief Description: Install T-410s and Tank Bracket with Sealant
I washed all parts for installation in Dawn dish soap and warm water. Set them out to air dry. I also cleaned all mating surfaces on the ribs with MEK.
I assembled the fuel pick up and used the "one flat past hand tight" method for the flared fitting. Tightened it just a little more to get the anti-rotation bracket to sit flush on the T-708. Mixed 20 grams of sealant and applied sealant to the shoulder of the bulkhead fitting and the anti-rotation bracket flange. Installed these to the T-708 plate with clecos, then applied sealant to outside of plate and spacer. Screwed on the nut and torqued to100 inch pounds.
Put sealant on inboard rib on the inside and outside of tank and on the wing bracket, used a pick to align the rivet holes and left the pick in the center hole. Then put sealant on theT-410 and pressed the T-410 into place using the pick to align the part and installed both with cleco's. Repeated the process for the T-410 on outboard end. Used popsicle sticks to smooth fillets in corners and back edge of T-410s and tank bracket.
