Preping the fuel tanks to close - 3.5 hours

Its time to start closing up the fuel tanks. I've been dreading this a bit since i'm not a fan of proseal or  MEK. I needed to prep the rear baffle of the fuel tanks so I went to work with my nylon brush and scored the mating surfaces of both baffles.

Next I cleaned the tank to get it ready.

After giving some thought to the process. I felt it wise to clean the primer off the z-brackets to allow a good clean surface for the MEK to adhere to. Also made sure that the holes where nicely deburred.
