Looking for some thoughts. Was pretty excited to start final assembly on my right fuel tank. As I was finishing up the final prep, I realized that like an idiot, I reversed the end ribs. I cut the tank access hole and riveted the reinforcement ring on the outboard end rib instead of the inboard rib. Ugh...feel like an idiot. I think Vans sells a cover with no holes in it for those that use the internal fuel gauge sensor. I'm wondering if I just pro sealed a cover over the hole, if I could still use it? I'll reach out to vans support, but wondering if anyone has any thoughts.
Secondly, if I get a new rib, how do you match drill when the skin is already dimpled? Those ribs have two holes that aren't drilled and have to be drilled in place, so that'll make it tough since the skin is dimpled. I've got some ideas, but again looking for advice from the community.
