Fuel tank neck / canopy attach angles

Temporarily installed the fuel tank so I could adjust and match drill the fuel neck. The nutplates were then installed in the flange. The fuel return line was cut, bent and installed. Then the top skin was riveted in place.

I then fluted, match-drilled and installed the canopy attach angles.  I noticed that the cardboard I had originally on the sides was a little too thick so I replaced them with one that was 1/8 inch.  I also had to slightly bend the canopy bow to get the proper measurement between it and the instrument panel.

Time: 3 hrs
