28/06/2008 - Putting the fuel cap plate and drain valve onto the skin.
The replacement countersink cutter arrived during the week, so I was able to finish the countersink in the fuel cap reinforcement ring.  I made sure they were deep enough to received the dimples plus cement.

 

The fuel drain valve was first, and I managed to do this with the squeezer.  No problems.

 

 

Next up was the fuel cap.  No problems using the back riveting method; until I realised I had not put the clip on for the vent line. Oh $%!^.  So I drilled the head off the correct rivet then got in a mess removing the rivet, well it came out in the end with no damage.  Clip on this time the last rivet was set.

 

 

That's quite enough for today, the ribs are next.
