Final drilled the holes in the angles, baffle and the ribs

Here’s where I screwed up on the left tank. I didn’t see in the instructions where it said to final drill the angles into the baffle and ribs all together. I should have known by logic to do this, but I didn’t. When it came time to put in the final pop-rivets when sealing the left tank, the pop-rivets wouldn’t go in the holes and I had drill out the holes in the angles. This dropped metal shavings into my newly sealed tank. After the proseal dried, I flushed the tank with water and got the shavings out, I think.
