Oct 29, 2023     Reassemble the panel Category: Instrument Panel

With the fuel gauge fixed, I reassembled the panel. The extension is now secure with a mix of soft aluminum rivets, easier to drill out next time, and 4-40 machine screws into the previously installed itty-bitty nut plates.

I wasn't happy with the accuracy I was able to achieve using these tee-ninesy 4-40 nut plates as there own drill jig, so I fabricated a drill jig using idea from Tony Bingelis, using a chunk of mild steel and a section of brass tubing located in place.

Also finished fabrication of the fuel dip stick, and pulled the malfunctioning fuel sensor probe.

With my son's help, removed the last windscreen fasteners. Later in the day, drilled the last rivets in the glare shield extension to access the back of the panel and disconnected the fuel level probe, which needs to be replaced.

Also worked on the fuel tank dip stick, clear fuel tubing with an aluminum spine. Dip, hold your thumb over the tube, pull, read the level.
