Disassemble the tank, marking all
parts so they may be easily returned to the same location |

Fabricate the T-406. You need to
look at the next drawing because it says on side contour needs to
fit the rib tip , so the left and right one will be different. I
drew a template from another builders part and it worked very
well. I am going to try to figure out a way to put a template you
can download and print it out , cut it out and use it. |

The 406 test fit into the end of the
