Tanks resume…
May 15th, 2014
No pictures, but I did make some progress tonight.
I was out in the shop doing other things and just decided to clean out 1/4 of the rivet holes in preparation for riveting.
I basically removed the clecos from every other hole in a line, passed a #40 bit through them by hand, and then chased the dimple with a countersink by hand.
I still need to scrape a little on the inside the tank for each dimple and then hit each with MEK to clean off scraps and human oils.
I need to repeat this on the other 3 remaining sides of the tanks and then I think I will be ready to final rivet them.
Progress is progress, one rivet at a time.
