Title: Firewall Items
Temporarily installed the fuel manifold on the firewall. Will be removing to install the check valve and safety wire the gascolator. When I installed the rivnuts with JB Weld, I had some extra around the head of the rivnut on FW side. The cutout tolerance of the manifold rear just barely allows the rivnut head to seat. The extra JBWeld I had was keeping it from laying flat against the firewall so I had to scrape some JBWeld off from around the rivenut head. This fuel manifold is a modification to the stock Sling fuel filter, gascolator, check valve and fuel pressure sender that greatly simplifies the install and reduces the fuel line run lengths. This manifold is sold by Midwest Sky Sports (build assist center) and looks to be a nice enhancement to the Sling TSi kit. I spent some time trying to adjust the steering pushrods thinking it would be easier to do now rather than after engine install. The deflection of the wheel was going noticeably further in one direction than the other. After trying several attempts to resolve, I contacted Jean from TAF and he said they save this step until the rudder is installed and the rudder cables are tight. He said adjustments after this give the nosewheel its final turn parameters once everything is hooked up.
