Brief Description:  Run left fuel line into fuel selector

I used a length of #14 house wire to shape the general fuel line run from the left tank to the fuel selector. Before I could start to shape the 5052 tubing I had to lace wrap two wire runs that use the center tunnel along with the fuel line. I used waxed lacing cord for that. Then I made the bends such that I could corkscrew turn it into place so it went behind the gear mount brace, then in front of the gear tube, etc. One down, and one to go. The boost pump and filter were previously fitted with tubing from the fuel selector, and the run from the boost pump to the firewall was also previously made and installed. I have one more line to make from the right tank, which essentially mirrors the left side.

Also, in anticipation of installing the brake lines down to the landing gear, I used a kitplanes article and made a pressurized brake fluid feeder that bleeds the lines by pushing fluid in from the bottom under 25 lbs PSI. I'll report back on that when I finish the brake line install soon.
