Brief Description: Fix left tank brackets / seal left aileron TE
After e-mail exchange with Ken S at Van's (included in the log), decided to pull off the interior brackets of the left tank to put them right. In punching through the pull rivets, not many (if any) fell into the tank--heard no rattles so far, the ends of the old rivets may be stuck to proseal on the inside. Wasn't too hard (after applying a heat gun) to carefully pry the brackets loose. Mixed up proseal, put the brackets on the right way round. Daubed the other rear baffle line of rivets with pro-seal. Made a trial fit to the left wing spar--it's bowed a bit. When I get the skin clecoed on again I think the fit will be OK.
Mixed up a small proseal batch for the TE of the left aileron. Decided to cleco it to the holes I made in the flat table when I first drilled the AEX wedge to the skins. Looks very flat so far! Installed the aileron mounting hardware. The mount-to-aileron AN3 bolts were all torqued to 25 in-lb and torque-sealed. The rod end bolt is going to be tough to torque--may just go with screw-driver feel and having threads out the other side of the nut?
