Ref the recent problems installing the 3/8" aluminum fuel line.
I found the best way to get them in was to start from the centre
of the fuse where the selector will be, route it up to the landing gear
mount (7A). Then insert a 3/8" spring tube bender to help get around the
corner
after the gear mount and then through the hole in the side of the fuse.
Not only does the spring eliminate kinks when bending but it also protects
the
tube from the gear mount. You then gradually bend and unbend to get the
tube around the corner. For now I've left about 10 inches of tube hanging
outside the fuel. I also installed protective coverings (clear PVC tubing)
over the lines to prevent any shaffing.
Thankx to all for the suggestions,
Steve
