Title: Wing tanks, Checking bolts and drilling for aileron carry through cable
As in the other wing, one of the steel fairlead mounts for the cable through was mounted in the wrong spot. I drilled it out and riveted it on next to the flap actuator. It's purpose is to hold the cable off the flap actuator. Kieran and I drilled the holes inboard of that fairlead and managed to get them lined up. We checked all the bolts for torque and for size. A few bolts holding the aileron and flap hinges in place were too short as received so we took the bolts out and replaced the washers with thinner ones in order to have at least one thread exposed outside the nuts. We put the fittings in the wing tanks. I forgot to order the fittings which screw into the tank and accept the flared fitting for the fuel gauge tubes. AN 816-4D I think. 1/8” male NPT on one end and flare fitting for 1/4” tube on the other.
