I'm starting work on the fuel tank assembly and the first steps are working with the Z brackets. The plans seem to be lagging the parts as all the holes are pre-punched/drilled which leads me to my question.
Is it necessary to bolt the z brackets to the spar, cleco the rear baffle to the Z brackets and attach the tank skin to check for alignment? With the accuracy of the pre-punched components this really doesn't seem necessary so I'm hoping others can validate my thoughts or provide the reason for the work.
I'm curious what others have done here before I start.
