I reopened up the center tunnel, to check on som efuel pump electric lines that were routed up at the forward portion. This item showed up in a Matronics e-mail, and I wanted to verify that there was no possibility of chaffing, I rearranged the electrical lines and secured them w/ tie wraps in such a way to ensure no future chaffing. I ALSO found that there was some interferrence with the brake lines that extend up from the tunnel in that same location and with the tunnel cover. I modified the tunner cover (opened it up some what) and slightly rebent the brake lines to mesure no interferrence. While rechecking everything in the tunnel, I noticed a mark/kink/ in the fule line from the right tank to the Andair fuel valve. It's not too big, but with my prior history of fuel line issues, it concerned me, I sent pics To John Cox, and had another builder on the field look at the situation, and the concensus was that the line should be replaced. So....... I've got to tackle that yer one more time!!!! The other reason to open up the tunnel was to check the routing of the @" scat tube between the fuel supply lines (to Andair valve). I was able to get the scat tube routed between the lines, but it's too tight a fit. I bought some stryofoam and began to fabricate some fiberglass reducing couplings which will take the 2" scat down to 1" and then I'll wrap the fule lines in foam insulation to protect tem from any heat and chaffing. Hopefully when this is all done I can close up the tunnel for the 'lastl time and mount the center console.
