Brief Description:  Corrected Rivet Direction in Attach Angle

I got a response from Joe at Van's about the direction of the rivets holding the aft tank bulkhead and attach angle together. His response was as follows:

"This is not critical so leave it as you have built it. The issue is the ole' rule of thumb that the shop head be formed on the thicker of the 2 pieces of material. Manufactured (or Factory) head goes over the thinner material, if possible... That's all."

I was going to leave it after getting Joe's response but it bugged me for the last day and a half so I decided to drill them out and install in the proper direction. I retrospect, glad that I did - turned out much better. Reference note on page 37-03, figure 2.
