Brief Description: Catch "pan" to catch fuel spills
- I made a paper pattern (photo #1) to see how to fill the space with a flat surface. Not shown, I located the vent hole by poking a punch through the paper, through the vent threads below.
- I then transfered the pattern to .025 aluminum, adding flanges to all 4 sides.
- My first attempt fit much too tightly, so I will need to make the flange bends further inboard to I don't crowd the filler box. Otherwise it seemed to work well. Photo #2 has my 2nd try in progress.
I kept trimming away at a paper pattern until it all fit.
My first attempt, upper right, and my second try, below it.
