Brief Description:  Position/Drill Fuel Pickup Fittings

I deburred, scuffed, and dimpled the two end ribs and then clecoed the inboard rib to the tank. I then clecoed the access plate to the inboard rib and assembled the various fuel pickup fittings and anti-rotation bracket. Then I carefully positioned the fuel pickup assembly on the inside of the access plate such that the fuel pick up had a small slope so no water would pool in a low spot in the tube itself and so the tube would be in the bottom inside corner of the tank. Once everything was positioned where I wanted them, I outlined the anti-rotation bracket on the access plate. Then I disassembled everything in order to drill the pickup fitting and anti-rotation bracket to the access plate. I remembered to drill the 9/16" hole through the access plate first rather than the #30 holes that secure the anti-rotation bracket. It is MUCH easier this way. I did it backwards on the left tank and had a heck of a time drilling the 9/16" hole precisely where it needed to be after having drilled the #30 holes first. Everything turned out to be positioned great in both cases but was much easier to do on the right tank.
