Good Evening Zenith builders,
I may be dense but I don't understand the instructions to place the
fuel sender in the side of the fuel tank.
I don't get the paper taped to the tank bit. It seems like there are
instructions to simply measure 135mm from the back of the tank {using
a square} and 74mm from the bottom.
This places the center of the sender inside the circle traced from
the lightening hole of the rib.
Am I missing something?

That would be (I think) Rib 5, so apparently they intend you to have
access to the sender while the tank is installed. I would assume they
mean for you to make an inspection plate just outside Rib 5, so you can
slide it out if need be.

Steve,
I installed my sending units through the side of the tank quite some time a
go using the measurements you describe,and the wings are attached.Several t
imes I have looked at the senders ,and thought.......wow must be a bitch wo
rking through that lightning hole if you have to change one.I just had the
opportunity(SMILE)to take a sender out ,and it really wasn't to bad.In my i
nfinite wisdom I had installed it 180 out.With the float on the bottom of t
he tank the gauge read full.Anyways,it wasn't as bad as I thought it would
be.Listening to other builders I think the biggest concern is leakage.I don
't want to fill my tanks right now because I'm in a heated area,and worry a
bout fuel vapors.I know this does not exactly address your question but I h
ope it helped a bit.
