Guys and Gals,
While on fuel questions, is there anyone out there that has used the S/W
float sending units and can tell me how to get the float rod to seat into
the plastic clips right before the shepard's hook bend? I made the 90
degree bend with the 3/4" length after and it all fits well, however the
radius of the bend seems to prevent the rodd from snapping into the clips on
the actuator arm.
I have made this bend as sharp as I think I can and even tried to clean up
the inside curve with sand paper, emery cloth and fine file. Still can't
seem to get in to seat and I don't want to put force in this area to much.
Thanks,
Terry Hobert 90680 Trying to get tanks finished up.

Mark...
Assuming my 7A fuse is identical to the 9A in this area,
by enlarging the lower hole on the bracket nearest the gear
weldment to accept a 1/2 snap bushing, the obstruction becomes
a non issue.

Another question,
Concerning the ATO 035 X 3/8 fuel tubing. Can you get this from any local
type supplies? Or is it line that should be ordered from Van's or actual
aircraft supply vendors?

Hi Terry,
I think the stuff you get in the kit is the same as what you ca buy at the
hardware store.
