** She diagrams the holes at [https://youtu.be/-fJUMhbf7zY?si=iNIxa28amTkntwUa&t=903 15:00 in the video]. Essentially, they are the holes between the fuel tank nut plates (forward row nut plates) that would be covered by the fuel tank flange. | ** She diagrams the holes at [https://youtu.be/-fJUMhbf7zY?si=iNIxa28amTkntwUa&t=903 15:00 in the video].
