Z-Brackets
Continued working on the fuel tank attach brackets. Place them on the spar with the center bolt, square it up, back drill the other 2 holes. Move on to the next one. I also worked out the placement for the 3 additional brackets. I'm not sure what logic Van's used for the direction of the brackets but the additional 3 pretty much dicated themselves where they needed to be. One of the brackets sits right next to the tie-down and aileron bell crank. After drilling them I drilled the holes for the nut-plates and started counterskinking.
(Time: 2.5 hours)
