    Recommendation: If I remember correctly, leave a bit if room between the #3 rib and the tank (for the rib stitch needle).

    It says to use structural adhesive between the tank and the rib. Is everyone drilling a little hole for the rib stitching?

    Yup - filled the gap then drilled holes for the rib stitching.
