Day 8: Final session of assembling and sealing the fuel tank
Install the inboard end rib.
After the rivets joining this rib to the skin are squeezed, install the T-405 tank attach angle and the T-410 reinforcing plate on the leading edge.
Seal and rivet the other T-410 to the outboard end rib (no pic). Install the outboard end rib.
Make sure the outboard end rib aft tooling hole has been plugged with a 3/16 rivet and sealed. Apply sealant around the inside of the end ribs where they join the skin, especially at the very leading edge.
