-Had some time so decided to get back into the fuel tank
-Firstly there were mud wasp nests in the spar to fuse attach holes so thoroughly cleaned those out
-Countersunk all Z brackets & IB spar at Z bracket attach
-Salvaged almost enough k1000-3 platenuts from old Z brackets but had to substitute a few for the interchangeable MS21047L3 platenuts, riveted those to the Z brackets
-Riveted inboard platenuts to spar using blind rivets (refer DFD-22)
-Bolted all Z brackets to the spar
