Brief Description:  Fuel Pump Cover +

Before I remove the plane from the basement workshop and move it to the much cooler hangar for final assembly, I am trying to incorporate simple dress up features just to make things look as good as practical without adding a lot of weight or complexity.

Today’s project was to design and fabricate a panel to cover the fuel pumps to hide utility items visible when seated in the cockpit. This was made from 0.025” thick 2024-T3 scrap aluminum, and is held in place with four Velcro dots applied to the top of the fuel pumps and the forward tunnel.

The data plate and rudder cable grommets were also riveted in place.
