I didn't think I had enough time to get through the right tank stiffeners tonight so I switched it up and did the tank drains. Again, it took longer than expected so I didn't get to the fuel cap flanges like I had thought I might.Anyway, each gets six rivets after cleaning and adding sealant. I was able to set these with the squeezer. It's amazing how slippery the sealant makes the rivets in the squeezer as otherwise, it's about the stickiest stuff I've ever come across...
The shop heads got sealed as well. I made sure that there was plenty of access to the drain hole and not make a sealant dam around it.
Next up is stiffeners on the right tank.
