Finished up the fuel lines, including both the left and right sides, and putting the inline fuel filter in. I’ll also have a gascolator, so this summit filter is 40 micron and will catch most before hitting the boost pump.
Overview
Right side:
I also worked on installing the Rudder pedals, opening up the holes in the carry through for the snap bushings, installing the cable guides and all bushings along with the cables to the rear of the fuselage.
Other misc work:
Drilled the holes for the pitot static ports in the rear of the fuselage.
Additionally, I had fitted the turtle deck and matched drilled all the holes with the fuselage and formers.
I decided to redo the fuel lines because they weren’t to my liking, so here is try #2.
Lines going into the pump:
Fuel line from the selector to the right tank:
The spring I used to bend the link up to the fuel selector:
Continued work on the fuel lines.
Fuel Pump to the firewall and from the pump back to the fuel selector.
I am putting my fuel filters in the wing, so I went straight from the pump to the selector. I also added a plate (not shown here) on top of the selector so that the panel that gets bolted over the selector is flush.
I finished up the work for the rear pedals, adding in the the supports for the rear pedals.
