FUEL TANK MODIFICATION

Extended range fuel tanks with a capacity of 58 gallons total are being installed.  The work involved cutting out and reinforcing a rib to accommodate the larger tanks.  Below is some of that work.

An additional strap is used to secure the tank outboard of the original two.  Shown here is the strap attach bracket riveted into place.
