Brief Description:  Fuel lines - done...

I worked the fuel lines today. Took out the new right line/tube that would have interfered with the right wing attach bolts. Then it was a matter of stripping down the area to get the old (new) tube in place. While I had the right tube out it, I installed some attach fittings to the tank end of the and flared the fitting. Also attached tubing to the spar with the four screws as per plans. Then I put the fuel selector bracket in and tightened the bolts, put the left tank fuel line in and noticed that it is not supposed to be bent after exiting the fuselage - so I made another one of those. It was easy because its a short tube. The left tank tube is a straight attach but the plans say 3.25" and I would like to wait to see if that's the exact measurement or an approximate. I tightened down all of the fuel line fittings so hopefully this is the last time (knock wood)

right line geometry - much better - hope the snap bushing hole isn't an issue
