Long Range Tank Rib 27 Assembly

Post by Montreal »

Has anyone run into an issue with the long range tank rib 27 assembly fuel feed line fitting obstructing rivet? I tried installing fitting opposite direction, same issue. Will contact Sling Technical and update.

Per Sling Technical
  • Install nut and washers in place on AN 90º fuel feed fitting.
  • Drill hole into nut (3.3mmm) for rivet but do not drill into threads.
  • Install trimmed rivet (smallest length—of the 3 segments on shank, cut 2 off). The rivet also works as a locking pin.
  • Apply tank sealant over nut fitting and rivet.
