Left fuel tank access
I finally got up the nerve to cut the big hole in the inboard rib for the left tank. For some reason, that step had me nervous. I used the fly cutter. The hole came out great. Since I had everything set up, I decided to cut the hole for the right tank as well.
I also located and cut holes in the ribs for the vent line and the connector for the capacitive fuel sender. The final thing I did for the night was to cut holes in the blank access covers for the standard fuel pickup. I used the other cover with the extra hole for the float sender as a template. I decided to move the anti-rotation bracket just a few millimeters closer to the angle fitting, so that it wouldn’t interfere with the pick-up attachment.
I started to drill the holes for the cover plate screws, but decided to wait until tomorrow when my order from Cleaveland arrives with the black clecos. That should make the job a bit easier.
