I used Dan Chockway's method for locating the tank, pretty much repeated what I did for the first right fuel tank. Got the Z bracket to spar web holes drilled. I realized that I used up almost all K1000-3 nutplates when I built my second right fuel tank, and forgot to order more, so I have to wait for the nutplates before I can continue on the Z brackets.

The AN3 bolt holes are drilled on all 7 Z brackets, the hole on th most inboard brcket is moved 1/16" away from web off center line, the rest holes are moved 1/16" toward web from center line

The Z brackets are bolted to the spar, and the other two holes on each bracket are match drilled using holes on spar web as a guide
