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?

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.

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.

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
