All,
I am pretty sure that I have seen this topic before but I could not find it in the archives. Can someone tell me what to do with the extra hole on the bottom center of the fuel tank baffle on the fuel tanks? It's centered right by the middle rib. It looks like a nut plate is supposed to go in there but I can't find any mention of it. In fact, on the rivet call outs it shows the hole but doesn't have a rivet in it. See page 18-5, figure 3.

� Also, has anybody come up with anything better for sealing up the tooling holes on the inboard and outboard ribs? It seems that adding the plates called out on 18-5 step 2 adds to the possibility of leaks. Thanks in advance.��

Shawn,

On the tooling holes, we usually put in an AN470AD6 rivet with plenty of proseal.

the rivet hole in the baffle should be matched to a rivet hole in the skin. I thought this was funny when i saw it on the left tank - i through-drilled it to make a matching on in the skin - then i got to the other side of the skin - the skin hole had one, and the baffle didn't!

so, would seem like there so the baffle only installs in one direction, but all the other holes seem to line up (eg z-bracket holes)

so i guess one way would be just to swivel 180 degrees, unless you've already match drilled, in which case can drill through and rivet like all the others

OK, I remember that now. Yes, the baffle can install both ways except for that hole. Just drill the hole in the part that doesn't have it and rivet. No problems.
