Title: Fuel, Brake Lines
Continued work on fuel lines. Looked at fit of lines and fittings between fuel pump and firewall (look at the picture with the inspection mirror showing the fittings below the fuel pump mounting plate). Determined the fuel line under the pump mounting plate had to be routed outside the pump/filter assembly to keep the line from touching other fuel lines. Reinstalled the fuel valve to check final location and fit of fuel filter and pump. Torqued a few of the AN fittings that could be reached and would likely not be disconnected. Tested foam sheet fit. My guess for thickness and density was a good one that will work. Checked squeezer yokes and how they will work with riveting the final instrument panel structure in place. Decided I needed a longer yoke to allow squeezing a few more of the rivets and placed an order with ATS. Looked at options to install the six challenging rivets on each side for the F-7105 to F-902 rivets. I may be able to use a longeron yoke on a squeezer for a few of them. I may be able to use a rivet gun for the rest of them, but it will be challenging. I could use a blind rivet for some or all of them, but will need to see if that is acceptable to Van's before I do that. Looked at brake line routing and decided I needed to swap the lines between the right and left firewall to landing gear mounts.
