Brief Description:  Fuel tank reinstall #2

Finished up reinstalling the fuel tanks this morning. Lots of fasteners! I loosely put the Z bracket bolts in and then I loosely put all of the screws in starting at the leading edge (top side) and working down and then working inboard along the spar flange. Fitment came out just like before except for alittle extra "pillowing" on the top of the right wing at the leading edge which I am not going to sweat right now (build on).
I used orange torque lock on all of the Z brackets mostly so I know they were torqued.
