Fuel Tank Vent

Today I did some work towards the installation of the new fuel tank vent system.  I removed the right turtle deck.  I also checked on the Pro-Seal installed a couple of days ago.  It seems to be curing just fine.  All of the rivets have been set.  When I install the sender plate on the forward end of the tank I will make sure all of the rivet heads have been filled with Pro-Seal.  I did a test fit of the baggage area upholstery.  The vinyl covered part the installs above the fuel tank.  I marked the location for the ½" diameter hole that will be drilled through the upholstered bulkhead cover and the bulkhead.  
I then decided to cash-it-in for the day. 
I covered the cockpit area with some plastic sheeting to keep the drips out.
