Number of Hours:  3.00
Manual Reference:  7-7
Brief Description:  Fabricated RH tank fuel pick-up tube

Bent, flared and cut the grooves in the pick-up tube. Tightened the nut on the AN fitting to the minimum torque specification and selected the locking plate closest to the nut orientation. Tightened the nut some more to get the locking plate parallel to the access cover and drilled the rivet holes.

Sealed and riveted the assembly. We had to use two closed end blind rivets (AD-42H) to rivet the locking plate in position as it was impossible to squeeze or buck AN470AD4-5 rivets here.
