Fuel selector tweaking
Adele had a soccer game tonight, so I didn’t get too much done. I shortened the bushings on the fuel selector a little bit. They ended up being 22/32″ long, which looks about right. I also grinded off the pointer on the handle. The handle itself becomes the pointer. It would be very easy to make a nicer handle for the fuel selector.
The ELT and static ports I ordered from SafeAir arrived. Installing the ELT looks pretty straight forward. I just need to find a place to put it. I’m thinking underneath the baggage floor as Dan and others have done.
I previously ordered static ports from Cleaveland, but didn’t like the barbed fittings for the tubing. A few people have lately reported that the tubing splits when forced over those barbs. SafeAir makes a slick static port system, but it costs $80. Instead I ordered their static ports for $25. By buying a couple of Nylo-seal fittings from Aircraft Spruce, I should be able to make use of most of the Vans static kit I already purchased with the SafeAir static ports.
