Anyone else have any issues with edge distance for the nutplates on the fuel tank z-brackets? (just the rivets on the very ends)
I know these are not structural (they serve to keep the nutplate from turning and hold it in place) but my concern is that the low edge distance might allow a crack to start / propagate thereby weakening the z-bracket.
Also, were your z-brackets "scored" on the web of the bracket? Mine have a groove that goes the length of the web. I assume this is intentional altho I don't know why...?
