One
final thing on the fuel return fittings… The fitting and
it's anti-rotation bracket attach to the outside of the rib. The
fitting is held in place with the blue nut you see here. Once its
torqued down we plan to rivet an anti rotation bracket on the inside of
the rib. These are made out of some of the scrap sheet stock
included with the empennage kit, and will be cut to their final shape
and match drilled to the rib just before we rivet them on... this is
because we don't know the final orientation of the nut. Now, once
these things are riveted on we'll be forced to drill rivets out if we
ever need to remove these fittings... but that's really the point... we
don't want these things to ever come off, period.
