File ur hinge pin to a point. Next chuck up the non filed end into Cordless power drill. Slowly add power to the drill and it will "drill" itself into place quite easily.

Angier,

Fiberglass moves. Not much, but it does move. Live with the difficulty. It will be better after everything has lived together for a while.....

They were very difficult to insert. My latest theory is that 300 odd lbs hanging off the firewall causes the longerons to flex inward just enough to cause a slight misalignment between the hinges bonded to the tank and their mates bonded to the fuselage.

I'll get to test this theory shortly during final installation of the tank by using the hoist to remove some of the engine weight from the firewall.
