I'm at the point in left wing construction where I can start riveting the top skin. Van's instructions say to attach the fuel tank with a "few" screws/bolts, and as far as I can tell does not mention the fuel tank attachment again in his instructions. The fuel tank is complete and has been pressure tested. It seems to me that this would be the best time to insert all the tank bolts mounting the tank to the main spar and torquing them to specifications. Doing so after the top and bottom wing skins are riveted would be more difficult. Even with good access I had a difficult time starting some of these bolts. Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks, Frank Bush
