Title: cabin tunnel cover, fuel valve cover
started fitting the fwd tunnel cover. Instructions suggest cutting wooden spacers 15/16" to make sure you don't push it down to far between the floor stringers. After scrounging around the shop for a few minutes I discovered that a 1" wide roll of 3M blue tape is exactly 15/16" wide. Busted open a pack and used several rolls as spacers. At this point, everything is just clecoed together, because I've ordered a EFII boost pump and will have to play around with this cover to figure out the best way to mount it and may need to adjust where the hole & nut plate callouts are. Really cool to see the cockpit coming together, even if I know that a lot of it will have to come apart again. I also riveted the sides of the firewall recess closeout. I never could find on the print where is says which side the flush head goes on. I looked online and couldn't find enough detail in anyone else's build log to determine what they had done, but it seems like it would have to go on the cabin side to prevent potential clearance problems with firewall angles and the side flanges of the heater diffuser, so that's the way I oriented them.
