Left fuel tank senders

Worked on the capacitive senders for the left fuel tank, and installed the vent line. The vent line takes quite a bit of messing around getting the length right and bending it a bit at both ends. Didn’t help that I flared the end before putting on the nut.

The senders also take a lot of messing around. The next sealing session is going to be tricky. I need to do things in just the right order: coat the connectors with sealant, put sealant on the BNC connector and vent connector, seal and rivet the end ribs, and then put in the tank attach angle.

Here are pics of the outboard sender, the end of the vent line, the inboard senders (just sitting loose for now), and the inboard end rib just placed to give some slack in the wire for putting on the connector in the next bay over.
