Brief Description:  Finished up fuel line rework

So in the spirit of me trying to go back to my morning schedule, I spent a couple hours before work this morning and a few more after to get the fuel lines completed. There’s not a lot of room to work in the tunnel and there's a lot of snaking the lines around to get them to fit which is never fun with 3/8" hard lines in a tight space. But I got them in and I'm fairly happy with them. I put a bulkhead fitting in at each wing root for connection to the tanks. I had planned on using a flexible line so I had already enlarged the hole where the line penetrates the fuselage so I had to figure out a good way to re-isolate the line and a bulkhead fitting seemed best. I basically took the rubber grommet I had used with the flex line and sandwiched it between a pair of AN970 washers that I drilled to accommodate the AN-6 bulkhead fitting. This keeps everything nice and solid. The AFP purge line is T'd into the main line about half way to the right tank. The picture makes it look like it is resting on the brake line but it's actually canted at a 45. I've got a couple minor loose ends to address and then put the control system back together. Next thing I'm noodling is where to bring the main electrical cables through the firewall. I ran mine a bit different so the stock location isn't going to work.
