Hose fitting
I epoxied an AD5-4 rivet in the end of this fitting for the manifold pressure. It’s difficult to see, but there’s a 1/16″ hole drilled through the middle of the rivet. Should make an effective restrictor.
The fuel hoses arrived back that Spencer Aircraft modified for me. The hose from the firewall to the mechanical pump looks OK, although now I’m reading reports that having a 90 degree fitting in the pump inlet is a bad idea.
The modifications for the fuel flow sensor did not work out as well. The sensor block with the fittings is a long stretch that wants to remain straight. Not good for bending around the engine mount. The fuel line gets way too close to the exhuast. Might install a 45 or 90 degree fitting in the outlet. Not ideal for the flow sensor, but I don’t see another solution.
Started messing around with the wing tip fitting, but couldn’t figure out why the ailerons seem to be in the way.
