Time for tank bracket platenuts

I used one of the tank attach bolts to hold the K1000-3 platenuts in place while drilling the holes for the flush rivets that hold the platenuts in place. I grabbed an old 2x4 to put the brackets on while drilling. After I got all of the #40 holes drilled, I countersunk them in each bracket, except for the innermost tank bracket, which doesn't get platenuts.
