RH Fuel Tank – IB Rib Riveting

-Cleaned up area & sealed vent line fitting into IB (#1) Rib

-As with the rest of the ribs I removed clecoes, cleaned up holes & riveted #2 rib, installing rivets wet then sealing over the tail

-Fitted the vent line in position

-Sealed & riveted the IB #1 rib

-Sealed & riveted the T-405 & T-410 brackets, however i had to run the reamer through the holes as I couldn’t get the rivets in, hopefully that wont affect seal

-Installed & torqued vent line onto rib fitting & applied sealant to clip on cap assy

-As with the rest I made a hell of a mess but i’d rather have too much sealant than not enough
