Brief Description: Trial Fittting new Sump Design

I made a foam block fuel sump out of the latest modified design from Brilliant design and trial fitted it to myself in the rear seat. The top front needed to move aft 1.5" increasing the angle down to the front of the sump see image #2. I made the modification to the design and if fit much better. I have ordered AN fittings for the Sump and as soon as they come in I will verify that the width of the sump is ok with the fittings attached and finalize the fitting locations, and orientation. Then I'll be able to finalize the design and have the pattern cut out of Al and welded up.

Need to modify Design to fit properly

Need to Modify Template as shown
