There are two -7 builders near me who did not finish their wings all that long ago. They used the Checkoway method to do the z-clips for the wing tanks. I received my wing kit this January (2023).
It looks like the z-clips are now pre-drilled for the nutplates and the tank rear baffle, to be aligned with the holes in the spar and the baffle. I haven't gotten far enough into the construction to find out how well everything fits/aligns, but I'll sure be curious to find out.

Has anyone received the pre-drilled z-clips and gotten to the point where you can verify the success of the tank alignment?
