gas tank inspection port -- problem?

[datsclark]

For various reasons (read: i messed up) I managed to drill the inspection cover slightly off center from the large hole. These pictures should explain what i mean (I realize it is cleco'd together backwards):

The tooling hole is now no where near covered by the backing plate. I feel like this is all a pretty minor issue all things said and done, but i'm not sure.

Should I build-on or does this need some kind of attention?

I would keep building. I might drill out the tooling hole and install a mega rivet or AN bolt instead of relying on proseal to fill the hole. Nobody but you will ever know and someday you'll forget about it.

Not a problem!

Just proseal that tooling hole both inside and out. If you want to put a rivet in there use a countersunk rivet flat on the out side and notch the support ring on the inside to allow clearance.

Thanks guys. I'll just build on. Just another part to make my plane unique!
