Hi
What's out there for seats and seat belts? Just started to look.
Have an idea for those who are assembling the belly skins. I have placed a
number of fuel fittings down the center inside on my set up. Chances are
that a small leak may occur. I'm placing Styrofoam on the floor with skins
on top of that. Styrofoam and gas do not get along. So I'm making a seal
around the stiffeners with drain holes. You may want to think about putting
a little permatex seal between the stiffeners and the belly skins.

Hi Scott,
Regarding seats/seat belts, the archives should be full of info, since these
issues comes up about every couple of months.
About your floors, Personally I see no need to put skins over the floor.
Just lots of extra work, extra weight, and overall a pain. I've seen people
do it, but haven't seen a good benefit by doing it. I (along with a large
majority) have some insulation the thickness of the stiffners with a nice
layer of carpet over everything. Works great, easy to remove for
inspections, and fuel resistant.
Not to sound fecicous, but if you end up with a leak bad enough to erode the
styrofoam, you've got bigger problems than that. Believe me, even the
tiniest seep will give off enough odor to make you fix it ASAP. As usual,
just my opinion.
Cheers,

I suppose I could do that but having the right tool leaves no margin for
error--11 pm and not realising that your concentration levels are not what
they should be. By the way, I have automotive torque wrenches but they dont
go that low. Now finished empenage and moving on to wings.

Sounds like you have 707 the wrong way round

They mention the exact resistance for full and empty in the builders manual,
unfortunately I dont have the manual in front of me to advise.

Hi everyone
Any ideas on fuel senders? Is the standard one from Van's OK or what about the
capacitive type?

I found an inch/pound 1/4" torque wrench that goes from 5-50 in/lbs at Enco (http://www.use-enco.com
search for "torque wrench"). It's expensive though...$99.
I too have had trouble finding a torque wrench that go low enough for us.
Cheers,
Kevin
