Left Tank

While I get the testing on the right tank sorted out, I’ve started the left tank. First clecoed together and fitted, I then took the same steps forward, starting by riveting the filler neck and the stiffeners.

I’m not very happy with some of the rivets. They appear to be sitting a few thousands of an inch proud. Not a big issue, yet it still managed to give me anxiety.

I think the skins didn’t get fully dimpled, with the die backing off a bit. There’s not much I can do at this point.
