Getting ready to rivet on the tank attach nutplates

The bag that contained the nutplates for the Z angles only had enough to do the Z angles. I freaked out because I thought that that bag should surely have the three nutplates for the main spar tank attachments as well. But nooooo…. After a considerable amount of time digging in all the containers, I found the #1920 bag contents that had some more of these same nutplates. I love the description “Wing Bellcrank and Misc”. I guess it means “If you cain’t find it anywhere, look in here”. OK, enough ranting. I countersunk the holes in the main spar for the flat-head rivets that hold the nutplates.
