Okay, so I missed this on the plans.. I am about to close up the right fuel tank and when originally dimpling the wing tank skin, I wound up dimpling all the holes in the skin, including the spanwise holes that mate up to the rear baffle flange. DOH!! The plans show that the skin should be countersunk then mated to the baffle flange. Dimpling the baffle flange is going to mean having to shave down the female die in order to fit up against the main baffle while dimpling the flange. I can do that or just C/S the baffle flange in order to accept the already dimpled tank skin. Both surfaces are of the same thickness and I believe this to be key here.
What would guys do here? Dimple the baffle flange or countersink it??
