Found part of the problem

I had to remove some of the 3/32" clecos where the tank skin is clecoed to the tank baffle. They were hitting reinforcement bars on the wing main spar. This closed te gap between the tank and wing top skin considerably. Now for the other end of the tank. The gap on the other end was still there. It was being caused by the splice strip between the leading edge assembly and the tank. For some reason the tank wasn't coming down firmly over the strip. So I started putting in the 1/8" clecos along the bottom of the tanks to try and pull the tank skin down. It worked a little, but not enough.
