Fuel tank fabrication odds & ends

Hours: 1.6 | Posted in Fuel Tanks

Squeezed the rivets for the right tank end rib reinforcement ring & nutplates.  Located and drilled the fuel caps and drain flanges, then fabricated and drilled the clips that hold the vent line to the fuel cap flange.

That basically wraps up the pre-sealing fabrication work for the fuel tanks.  Up next is deburr, dimple, and prime the external brackets; then it’s time to seal these puppies up.
