Brief Description:  Fuel Plumbing Through the Cabin 4

Continued work on the fuel system through the cockpit. Today I accomplished the following:

- Finished resizing the notch through the left center console side panel to final size and lined the opening with ribber trim to protect the fuel lines passing through it.

- Cut out a notch on the right side center console side panel for the right side fuel lines to pass through.

- Riveted 2 cable tie mounts to the fuel hose platform in preparation for final installation.

- Added union couplers to the fuel tank ends of all the fuel lines. This is where the hose passing through the fuselage from the wing will attach into the system.

- Trimmed the hoses running from the 90 degree coupler to the fuel selector valve for final installation.

Stopped work when I figured out a 1/4" hose will not fit on a 5/16" nipple (the fuel selector) so I ordered a 1/4" to 5/16" adapter I will install when it arrives later next week.

How the hoses will look when installed.  Somewhat complicated looking.
