Brief Description:  Fuel Plumbing Through the Cabin 2

After a weekend away at a family wedding, today I got restarted on plumbing the fuel hoses through the cockpit. The first task was to fabricate the fuel hose platform I described in an earlier post. In the intervening period, I received a 2' x 2' piece of 0.05" thick 6061-T6 aluminum. I little measuring, cutting (with my trusty Olfa knife) and bending (with my bench vise and a block of wood), and I ended up with the piece I wanted. Now it's a matter of attaching it to the floor of the cockpit (using existing rivets I will need to remove), and aligining the hoses with the fuel selector so that I can attach the cable tie mounts to the fuel hose platform.
