Could you add a strip of aluminum the thickness of the cover to the side vertical and then attach a strip of piano hinge in the area of the seat? You would then be able to remove the available screws, pull the piano hinge wire, remove the fuel lever and it could be removed. --- gary wrote: > > > The question was asked some time ago but no one had > a good solution, so I > will ask again. > Does any one have a way to remove the tunnel covers > without removing the > front seats? > Gary > 40274 > > > > browse > Subscriptions page, > FAQ, > http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?RV10-List > > Web Forums! > > > > > Expecting?

I started removing one and immediately ran into some problems with the a few screws not coming out easily. That alone may be a good reason to remove, inspect, and re-install. Thanks for comments. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:23:25 PM PST US From: David Maib Subject: Re: RV10-List: QB Wing Fuel Tank Removal I had problems with a few of the screws not wanting to come out, too. Twisted the head off of one of them. The plans said to remove the tanks, so I did. Have installed the senders, repaired a dent that I put in one leading edge, leak checked, and they are now ready to go back on. However, it is a little easier to finish the stall warning system, wiring, pitot system, etc. with the tanks off. I am also installing SafeAir1 extended range tanks, so the main tanks have to be off for that reason.
