    Fuel cap flange with cap in place What to do with the extra screw holes? Right wing clecoed Shims on fuel tank attach Start proseal on left tank. Left stiffeners were riveted wet. Right stiffeners were riveted after clecoed for a day.

    All taped-up. This was overkill. Did not use as much tape on the right wing. The 6/32 rivets used to fill tooling holes. Required cutting the length with a hack saw. Tooling holes filled

    End rib. Figured no sense in prosealing the outside, unless it leaks during the leak test.
