Fitted the fuel tank into position. I thought it would be harder than it was, it just takes a little bit of encouragement from your feet to slide into place. Just like the instructions say.
Covered the straps in self adhesive felt. It was only 1/16 thick and the plans call for 1/8 so I just added a second layer to each strap.
Finally finished the day by installing the voltage regulator to the firewall. I now understand the tight fit between firewall mountings and the fuel tank. I'll have to have everything mounted before doing the final install of the tank.
