Left fuel tank and capacitive sensors

This time we worked on the match drilling the fuel tank stiffner plates to the ribs.  Next it was time to start working on the capacitive fuel sensors (used to give an indication of fuel quantity).  We match drilled the sensor plates to the ribs (the plates go on the inner ribs and give an indication of the fuel quantity) and installed the plate nuts needed to bolt the sensor plates to the ribs.  Finally we worked on modifying the bushings to that we could route the sensor wires.  All in all, it was a productive couple of hours.
