Manual Reference:  forward skins
Brief Description:  Tank seal applied to foreward skins

I discovered that I had missed dimpling the holes for the forward cooling plate to the firewall.
I drilled a hole in some 1/4" plate and set the femail dimpling die into the plate for a bucking bar. Set the male die in the hole and with the help of Jenny, use the rivet gun to apply the needed pressure to dimple a hole. (Really worked great, didn't take much to dimple the firewall)

Then mixed up 80 kg of tank sealant and used a sandwich back with a cut corner to apply the sealant to the edge of the firewall and for rivets of the forward skin. Set pieces and clecoed the assembly together.
