Brief Description: Rivet Reinf. Ring / Nutplates to Rib
Once the reinforcement ring was countersunk and deburred, I deburred and dimpled the inboard rib. Then I pulled out the pneumatic squeezer and riveted the reinforment ring and nutplates to the inboard rib. This will provide access to the inside of the tank should I ever need to get in there for maintenance sometime way down the road.
