Brief Description:  Fuel Line Servo to Red Cube rethink

While reviewing the line measurements and attach call outs for fittings, I realize the 35" line from the fuel servo outlet to the red cube could be better, if I did not route the line behind the air intake for cylinder #4, rather, route the line between the air intakes for cylinders 2 & 4. This removes 3 inches from the line, and also makes it a bit easier to stay off the left side exhaust.

Mocked the line run with a spare line (too short for actual and not fire sleeved), and determined a bracket mounted on the top of the sump between cylinders 2 & 4 will ensure the line does not contact the face of the sump where it meets the engine case.

Not sure I am going to use this in the final version, but have a spare steel bracket with just happens to have the AN4 bolt hole for the sump bolt, as well as an AN3 bolt hold for the WDG clamp, and works well to ensure the line does not contact the engine passing the sump/case.
