Today was a big day, first with Sabine we dimpled both fuel tank skins.The skins have also been scuffed at the place where the sealant will have to stick.



Then I fabricated some small parts, beginning with the inspection cover. The right and left cover are different because the left tank is equipped with a flop tube and so the fuel gauge has to be placed in the second bay. On the picture, the cover plate with the holes (to screw on the fuel gauge) is for the right tank and the plain cover for the left one.




The opposite end rib has a tooling hole that has to be closed. Van's suggests to use a big rivet, I have the rivet but not the tools so I did as others did before me : fabricate a small cover plate that will be sealed and riveted over the hole. That's how to make four holes to close one!!!!!



To finish, I made two small holding clips that will hold the vent lines in each tank.
