Fuel selector assembly

I installed the fuel vents in the floor of the forward fuselage. I contemplated starting the fuel vent runs, but decided to do something easier.

I pulled out the parts for the fuel selector and started assembling them. A few builders have mentioned on their sites that the bushings detailed in the plans are not long enough, so I made mine 1/8″ longer. That may have been too long. I’m not sure if the fuel selector itself needs to rest against the plate. I’ll probably shorten them 1/16″. I also moved the plug and installed the fittings as detailed in the plans with some Loctite thread sealant. I installed a T in the bottom of the selector, since it’s needed for the fuel pump/filter.
