Brief Description:  Left Fuel Tank Inboard Rib Prosealed

I installed the 1003B-R inboard rib and the 1005 fuel tank attach bracket to the inboard front rib and skin. This proseal is really messy and it seems even if I have fresh gloves on I manage to get proseal on them immediately!

I clecoed everything first before final install. Scuffed and cleaned with acetone. I globbed the hell out of the 1005 sub assembly and 1003B rib with proseal because I do not want any leaks. There are a lot of places where fuel can escape from and having to spend an extra $50 on an extra can of proseal is worth my peace of mind. I really don't care how ugly the insude of the tanks are as long as they DO NOT leak! I will never see the inside again.

I riveted everything together and used plenty of proseal. One tip I would suggest is wait until the rib is riveted to skin before torquing fittings to allow more access room. I had to use special bucking bar and 3X rivet gun instead of the pneumatic squeezer.
