Not a lot to show for the past several days, but I left the camera aat home and didn't have pics tuil today. Monday, I started out by installing the rudder center support bracket, Paul G. didn't have these ready when he shipped the pedals, What he has fits beautifully! and only took 3op45 mins to install. Next I udes seom weedwacker line to measure lengths for new brake lines from Bonaco Inc. The Old lines are too long with the brake cyls moved to the back of the pedal. I also ordered them with black teflon to cover the stainless steel braid. Brett said he'd probaly have them out within a couple of days. Beleive me it took a lot more time crawliny up under the panel and measureing then it did to make the order!. I installed the new compass, the old one was panel mounted and fix ata a 'canted' angle giving erroneous readings. Again the wiring for the light took more time than installing the compass. I finished up connecting the redone tunnel fuel lines to the extensions that gconnect to the wing tanks, Got a couple gallons of AV fuel, disconnected the fuel line from the firewall to the mech fuel pump, and then ran several gallons of fuel lthrough each tank (R&L) checking for any fuel leaks in any of the fittings/couplings in the tunnel or under the seats. GOOD NEWS NO LEAKS!!!!!. When the new brake lines and hardware get here, I'll redo those (URGH!!!) and then re-bleed the brakes and check again for any leaks in brake fittings. The last item is to fashion som gust locks/ rudder trim ala Bill De Rouchey, and then should be able to close the tunnel.
