1. After almost a week, and three sprays of PB Blaster solvent, the 90-degree fitting on the fuel spider finally came loose with a good tug. I removed and cleaned it, and also cleaned the spider inlet. It's ready to reinstall, clocked to the 6 o'clock position instead of the 9 o'clock position. I'll use Loctite 567 instead of whatever iron-laced cement paste the folks at AeroSport used. 2. I got my newly-cut-out throttle bracket back from the machine shop. It needed a fair amount of trimming, filing, and some slight additional bending (as I knew it would). I even had to modify it slightly from my original design, discovering after the fact that one of the two mounting holes wasn't quite where I wanted it. (This is why there's a notch on one side of the bracket. That was where the incorrect hole was drilled. It won't really be visible, and won't affect the part's strength, so I'm okay with it.) I fitted the bracket at it looks like it will work okay. So it's off to the powder-coater soon.
