Brief Description:  Install fuel tank brackets; adjust gap between top

Fitted and drilled the forward fuel tank attach brackets with the wings installed and the aft spar pinned with a AN5 bolt.

Due to the shape of the aft wing spar, the aft skin that overlaps the top of the lap was bent up slightly and left a ~ 1/8 " gap between the flap skin and wing.

It turns out, after a seach on VAF, I found that Mike Cencula fabricated a trailing edge adjuster tool that he was happy to let me borrow. After a few passes, combined with fuse/flap gap trimming, the gap was perfect. A great tool; thanks Mike
