Brief Description: Tank Wiring / Proseal BNC Connector
I had to remove the BNC connector and wire since it was on the inside of the inboard rib rather than the outside. It gets inserted from the outside of the rib, sealed with proseal and fastened with a nut on the inside of the rib. To remove this I had to remove the inboard capacitance plate, cut the end of the wire that had the terminal crimped onto it and then pull the wire through inboard rib #2 in order to remove the BNC connector and insert it from the outside of the rib. Then it was a challenge feeding the wire back through the vent tube snap bushing, removing some insulation and crimping a new terminal onto the end, and finally bolting the terminal to the capacitance plate and then the plate to the rib. It wasn't too bad, but again, it was time spent reworking things. At least I'll know for the next tank. Once I had all of the wiring back in place, I mixed up a small batch of proseal and sealed the BNC connector to the inboard rib and also prosealed the terminal connections to the capacitance plates as well as the wire to vent tube according to the construction manual. Once this was done, I used a sanding flapper wheel in my electric drill to scuff up the baffle for the proseal. Everything should be ready to seal up the first tank. I debated doing this alone today since I can squeeze all of these rivets but I decided to wait until Matt and Ben come down on Thursday to finish this up with their help.
