Drill the platenute screw holes into the rib

This was little tricky. I lined up the straight end of the outer circle of the acces plate with the vertical indention of the rib and then while holding that position, flipped the whole thing over and lined up the access plate with the large hole I cut previously, using the sharpie lines as a guide. After flippin' and adjustin' several times, I drilled my first hole and put a cleco in the hole. Then it was just a matter of drilling the other holes, making sure I stayed on my blue sharpie line on the access plate. The green arrows are a reminder to me to make sure the the fuel line hole in the access plate matches the drawing when I start on the right fuel tank.
