12/07/2008 - The inboard fuel tank rib

The morning was spent installing all the bulkhead fittings for good into the inboard rib.  I also decided to fit an anti rotation device close to the bulkhead fitting of where the flop tube will be.  Not strictly necessary but it does not seem a bad idea.
 

In the afternoon I sealed the end rib in for good as can be seen by the last picture in the sequence.  I needed a crows foot spanner attached to the torque wrench to get onto the pipe work in places but there is a calculation to adjust the torgue settings as the adaptor changes the turning moment of the setup. Or just use Dan Checkoway's utility like I do - Dan's Torque Tool
