Brief Description: Change aux pump hardware, more riveting
"When Jim was helping me rivet the nose ribs he suggested using nut plates to mount the aux pumps. The set up I had would require removing the ailerons to remove the aux pumps. I hadn't even thought about that but I figured I'd eventually have to change out the pump so I may as well make it as easy as possible. Another good idea passed on by John Rheney was instead of an AN4 bolt use a socket head screw to mount the aux pump to make it easier to access. Both ideas make a much better set up. I installed the nut plate and remounted the aux pumps.
I clecoed the fuel bay stiffeners into position and loaded rivets in the open holes. Also I prepped the aileron area for rivets. Somehow I missed dimpling the bottom row of the aileron pocket ribs on the left wing so I used the pneumatic squeezers to set a dimple. I was able to rivet most of the skin to aileron pocket ribs with the squeezers.
When Andrea got home from school we riveted the fuel bay stiffeners, fuel tank refueling hole stiffener plates and the rear spar line at the aileron area - both wings. Looks like we're ready to install the bottom skin now."
