Temporarily pop-riveted the attach angles to the tank assembly

I clecoed the 2 end ribs of the tank assembly to the outer attach angles from the inside. Then I put these temporary pop-rivets in 2 holes on each bracket. I had to grind down the top of the pop-rivet gun to get it into position. UPDATE 8/20/2006: Apparently I forgot to final drill all the holes from the Z brackets, through the baffle and into the ribs. When it came to time to put in the final pop-rivets when sealing the back baffle, I had to drill out the holes because the pop-rivets wouldn't go into the holes. This made a mess in the tank, which requires waiting for the proseal to set and flushing out the tank with lots of water.
