On the 601 at least its simply a matter of drilling out a bunch of

rivets to get the wing tanks out. I have had to do it to fix a leak once

and while it sounded bad it realy was not as much work as I expected

once I got into it.



The trick is to pilot drill the rivet heads (#40 drill for small rivets

and #30 for large) this will center the final su=ize drill bit perfectly

and you can take the heads off without marking the skin underneath by

using a battery drill on slow!



Tank mods "should" be fairly simple, I would use proseal to glue a

flange on the bottom of the tank rather than welding but that's just my

preference.



Good luck



Frank
