Brief Description: Boost pump cover final installation and unit final
After having prepped the boost pump assembly cover box individual parts, I primed each with two coats of primer. Once dried I re assembled the box and final match drilled all the holes in assembly. I then disassembled and rebuilt the box in place over the boost pump, all holes were match drilled to the boost pump assembly. The completed pump and cover assembly was then carefully measured in place on the cabin floor given the already installed valve selector and fuel lines and then fitted and match-drilled to the longerons, some minor trimming of the base plate was necessary to facilitate a proper fit with all components. The cover was also final fit and drilled to the selector cover now in place, thus the entire tunnel assembly comprising the boost pump, housing, coverbox, selector and cover and the incoming and outgoing lines was completed. I also took some time in the afternoon sun to lay a final layer of glass cloth to the empennage tips. I saturated the cloth in quite a thick resin for a thicker finsh I could sand down.
