Up the ladder, down the ladder, up the ladder...get the idea what's happening?

Any way I've got a couple of pics of the tank, fore and aft along the starboard side.
Then of the top with the vent thru hull.

The white plastic piece is being attached the the logentudnial stiffiners to keep the tank from moving aft. I will end up with 4 of these hooks.

Finally the piece of scrap 3/16" diamond plate from the cockpit deck was a real close fit right out of the scrap pile. This piece I am drilling & tapping into the stiffiner and it contours the tank wall to within 1/16". There will be a mate to this one and 2 others on the next stiffiner set lower.

All the cut alu pieces will have reinforced hose covering the edges the tank will sit on.

The big challenge now will be to make the 90 degree turn from the 3/4" vent fitting on the tanks top to the thru hull vent.
