Brief Description:  Prep right tank end ribs

I have to wait one more day for the proseal to cure on the last rib I installed, so I spent the evening preparing the end ribs for installation. First, I drilled the inboard tank rib for the vent fitting and prosealed it in. Next, I riveted and sealed the doubler in the outboard end rib. I also used a 3/16" blind rivet to seal the tooling hole in that rib. Finally, I installed the vent line. As you may remember, I installed the vent line bracket on the wrong side of the fuel filler flange on the left tank. This time, I carefully inspected the plans and still managed to install the bracket in this tank on (you guessed it) the wrong side. Oh well, the folks at Vans say that it does not really matter which side you run the vent line. I can make myself feel better by observing that the vent line should be installed at the highest point in the tank and that would be on the "wrong" side of the fuel filler flange (so there).
