Tonight I actually had some help installing the fuel tank. My youngest daughter fit much better under the glare shield than I would! I simply followed the instructions from the Sonex website and pushed the tank in with my feet and it went fairly well. Getting the straps to meet in the middle where the bolt was long enough to go through both straps was tough. I used channel-locks to pull the straps together enough to get the nut started on the bolt.
Tried to bend the fuel line from the tank to the chassis mount connector I made didn't go well; I screwed up the first 4 attempts. I think I'll go get a pipe bender and try again.
