Brief Description:  Fuel Line and Safety wire

The prop extension bolts finally got Safety wire. I had to watch the EAA Video 3 times before I could get it. My first attempt was a little lose, but my second worked out pretty well. I will be re-torqueing these bolts within 10 hours of the engine running so My next set should be even better. There's definitely technique and an art to doing it right.
Moving on, I got my fuel fitting in the mail, finally, which means I can finally finish up my fuel system! YES. I assembled and torqued everything carefully onto the fine fuel filter then installed it onto the firewall fitting and engine fitting. Now all the fuel lines are in place and the system is ready to be turned on :) If you notice, I used a 90 degree elbow to clear the fuel pressure sensor under the cowling. Problem solved.
I also added the oil line hoses to the air/oil separator and routed them as best I could, but I feel that vibration may take it's toll on these so I'll need to keep an eye on it during that first 100 hours. Then again, shame on UL if this engine has vibration :) Better feel like a turbine! HAHA.
