Maybe someone can help me out. I am working on the fuel tanks, and I
can't seem to find the precise location to mount the fitting for the
vent line on the inside rib. I bought the capacitance fuel senders, and
they give measurements from the vent fitting, but I have not been able
to find (other than general area) where to put the vent fitting on any
of the drawings or instructions. Am I missing something, or does it not
really matter?
Thanks!

Anyone out there know the correct vaccum pump for an Lyc O320 e3d?

I am still at work, so I don't have all the drawings, etc. with me.
However, if I remember correctly all I did was to copy the drawing with
the end rib shown (with the vent line fitting shown on it) and used that
as a template. On the other hand, it really is not that critical for
either the vent fitting or the capacitive sensor output.

If I were doing this again I'd rethink the BNC connector than Van uses for
the fuel gage. The interface modules have ring terminals on them and several
builders reported leaks at the center conductor or the bulkhead BNC
connector. I had leaks there myself and replaced the fitting supplied with
one designed for a pressure bulkhead. The BNC connector is not a bad choice
since it fills the requirement of a positive lock non-grounded connector but
a regular machine screw with insulated washers would do the same thing.
The general location of the vent and fuel gage wire is shown on OP-13 and
the precise locations are not critical as the vent line from the fuselage is
flexible enough to make the connection.

Hi There,
New builder here. I am match drilling my HS ribs and spars. How do I match
drill the nose/main rib/ front spar combo? I can't get my drill in there
square to do it. Is there a trick, or is it OK to be out of square a bit?
There is a good chance I am missing something basic. I am using a small
cordless drill if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Pete Howell
