Brief Description:  Tank Assy - Inboard Right Rib Installation

I put the inboard rib of the right tank on today. First I laid out the rib, the angle brackets, reinforcement plate, and anti-turn bracket, flop tube. I re-etched everything with sandpaper and then recleaned it all with MEK. The things I did happened in this sequence:

1) Install rib and rivet it with pnuematic squeezer
2) Install angle bracket and reinforcement plate with Universal Rivets
3) Install anti-turn bracket with Universal Rivets
4) Installed Flop Tube
5) Put Proseal on everything
6) Prosealed the Capacitance wire to the fuel vent tube

One anomoly I experienced was the fuel vent line started turning and bending when I tried to tighten the nut with the Torque wrench.
