Brief Description:  Fuel Tank Preparations

Today I continued prepping for the assembly of the fuel tanks.

I started by fabricating the T-405 tank angles. They were a bit of work to fit to the ribs but I got it done. Then I layed out the rivet holes based on what is in the plans. I got them really close if not exact. I then clamped the T-405 and T-410 reinforcing plates to the ribs and match drilled all of the holes. I was only able to finish the ones for the right fuel tank since the left fuel tank is still sitting on the wing awaiting one more new Z bracket.

I moved on and cut the large hole for the access plate in the T-703 end rib. It was fairly easy with the fly cutter in the drill press.

I clamped the T-708 to the rib and drilled all the screw holes. Then I clamped the T-407 and match drilled the screw holes to that as well. Finally, I drilled all of the holes for the platenuts.
