Tanks: deburr & dimple
Not much to show visually today, but spent several hours on tank prep. Installed the nutplates on the spar for the inboard tank attach bolts (after spot-priming the countersinks). Starting with the right tank, disassembled the pieces and deburred all holes & edges. Dimpled the skin with the DRDT and the ribs with the squeezer. Moving on to the left tank, got about 1/3 of the way through the skin deburring before the battery in the deburring screwdriver went flat, and the temperature began dropping more rapidly…time to call it a night.
Proseal, landing lights, and a grab bag of hardware (rivets, bushings, etc) ordered from Van’s last night.
