Brief Description: Fuel tank vent line reinstallation...
I awoke this morning to the realization that I may have an interference between the aft elevator push tube and the ELT as I had mounted the ELT very close to where the control push tube runs. So the first order of the day was to install one elevator and the elevator control push tube and check for clearance between the ELT and push tube through the full range of elevator travel. I had a few millimters to spare. With that completed I returned to finishing the work my brother Bernie and I had started yesterday . After having removed the fuel tank vent lines for access for riveting the fuselage forward upper skin I reinstalled the vent lines and inlet scoops. Next I turned to securing the ELT remote control panel as the retention screws had not yet been installed. The #4-40 screws I had were too long so I used the screw cutter and cut them to length before installing them. Following this I opened up the hole for the map box closure quarter turn fastener and shaved the map box door upper edge due to interference with the ELT RC panel lower edge. A fit check was carried out and all was well. Lastly I began the tail nav and strobe light wiring harness routing through the tail by drilling the bulkheads to run the wires through.
