Brief Description:  Fuel Tank Inspection Covers #4 plus

Fabricated an anti-hangup bracket that keeps the flop-tube from getting tangled up in the nutplates on the inspection cover. I then worked on the front tank mount bracket, it needed to be modified to allow the skin-to-rib rivets to be set (see photos). For some reason the plans don't address this issue, but there is no way to buck (or squeeze) those rivets the way it is designed). I noted that other builders did the same thing.
I also drilled the static line holes into the root ribs.
