More Work on Tank Ribs

I riveted the flop tube anti-hang-up guides onto the access plates.


I also installed the BNC connectors and sealed them on the outside.


And the inside.  Make sure you seal part way down the wire to prevent fuel from wicking through the strands of the wire and through the BNC connector.


I also riveted reinforcement plates onto the outer ribs and covered over the rivets.  Here is the inside of one of the ribs.


Here is the outside.  The reinforcement plate stiffens the front part of the ribs since there aren’t any rivets holding the leading edge of the ribs to the skin.
