Left Tank Fully Deburred and Some Countersinking

Published by olanandkate on

I got all of the deburring done, I got some countersinking done, and I also got some dimpling done. Just alot of “mindless” tasks as you watch some shows and work. lol

I do need to talk with Van’s tomorrow just to confirm if I countersink both the skin and the tank attach bracket or dimple the skin and countersink the tank attach bracket. I did the first set thinking I would countersink the bracket but thinking about the type of nut plates behind these and also that the instructions only mention dimpling the forward ones makes me think these will be countersunk on both the shim and the bracket. Either way we will see. I might have to order another set of shims as I finish the left tank since I already dimpled this set. Well, as I think about it I’m going to have to order it anyways since these are mirrored to each other and I’ve already dimpled this one way. Not a huge deal but I’ll figure something out. I will ask Van’s about that tomorrow too and see if I can dimple it the other way without having to reorder.
