Fuel Selector Valve, Fuel Pump Mount
Final assembled the fuel pump valve per the instructions from Andair and riveted in the mount to the center tunnel. Was able to replace the one fitting that i accidentally drilled into when first creating the match drilled holes. Had some trouble with the aft most rivets, will need to use the swivel head to rivet those in. Also started working on the fuel pump mount. Was able to make two angle aluminum brackets to mount a flat plate for the pump to mount to. Got the locations of the angle brackets placed, and match drilled the holes through the center tunnel. Used my new Bambulabs P1s printer to print out a fuel pump mount straight from EFII's website. The locating plate was too big so i had to cut the part, but once printed i used a soldering iron to 'weld' the parts together. Helps determine the mounting holes for the fuel pump mounting plate to the angle aluminum. Not sure if the supplied hose from aircraft specialty flightlines will fit or not. Feels like it might be 1/4-1/2" too long for where the mounting plate is ending up. Need to get everything drilled first to find out. Also got the seat rails for the pilot side seat mounted.
