Brief Description:  Replaced fuel tank and riveted nose skin

I replaced the fuel tank and used web straps and 1x2 boards to pull down the nose skin. Everything lined up perfectly to rivet the skin to the ribs. My challenge came, however, in aligning the A5 holes on the aft edge with the holes in the spar cap angle. The 12 holes that are the most outboard are just a fraction off. The spar cap holes are too far aft. To be sure it wasn't a problem with my nose skin, I temporarily replaced my top skin, and it lines up perfectly with the nose skin. Tomorrow I'll call ZAC to get their advice on what to do.
