Brief Description:  Tank Assy - Inboard Left Rib Installation 3

The riveting of the angle support went okay. At first the 4-7 rivets seemed to short so I tried 4-8 but I couldn't get them to form a good shop head, so I went ahead and use 4-7s per plan. I used a flush rivet in the one hole and used the back rivet set on the flush head and bucking bar on the back to set it. It went okay, but you can see I kind of scratched the angle bracket a bit. Its a smiley from not holding the gun perfectly flat. The back rivet set is not forgiving using like this.

You can see I got a nice filet all around the inside of the rib.

And the outside is okay to. The blue tape keeps Proseal off where the wing to body fairing platenuts will go.

I'm starting to worry about the leak test.
