Brief Description: installing the primer system

Researched the web on Vansairforce.com which has a wealth of information and pictures of installing things like the optional primer system. I decided to mount it on the front of the firewall and to the gascolater bracket. To do this I had to drill out 4 rivets whick I had already put in, oh well, put in and take out. I then fabricated an angle bracket out of .063 AS to mount the primer valve on. I got it mounted ok but another problem cropped up. My tee fitting on my engine has 32 threads per inch made by HK aerospace in Germany so had to call Superior and will have to order some SS line with the fittings and a AN 780-2 connector to fit on the primer valve from Aircraft Spruce as well as a T-Hande control cable so will be working on this for a while.
