Brief Description:  Left wing, pitot tubing

Got some assistance from my daughter, lifted the left wing from the cart and on to the table. Removed the fuel tank, cleaned up the dust of 10+ yrs.

Fabricated the retainer clips from .025 2025 AL and drilled out the ribs for the grommets. Fed it thru the ribs, hand-bending the head-end with a spring bender and it passed thru the lightening hole and around to the AN fitting for the pitot tube.

Working in a tight space, I flared the end and connected to the pitot fitting. For now, it will be finger tight and finished up thru the inspection panel when the wings are attached.

Pop-riveted the retainers on to the spar web and left the inboard end of the tubing long & unfinished.
