Brief Description: Riveted left tank stiffeners

Dimpled the holes for the #8 screws in both tank skins with the c-frame tool and a hammer. Cleaned the stiffeners, rivets and skin with MEK and strategically placed electrical tape on areas to be kept clean from tank sealant. Mixed the first batch of proseal and riveted the stiffeners to the skin. Once this was done we dabbed a bit of sealant over every rivet head.

First four stiffeners sealed and riveted

Electrical tape works like a charm
