Jan 19, 2024     Began covers in the foreword fuse - (10 hours)       Category: Fuselage
The foreword fuel pump cover, fuel selector and plate and the heater box were constructed over about 3 days. The most tedious part was the deburring of the flanges you bend out for the heater. Oh and drilling through the floor stiffener into the covers was a total PITA as well. Even with my 90 degree drill it was near impossible. So I decided to use my 12” bit to get into the tight spot. It worked. Started at a #30 hole and upped to a 19. Once everything was drilled up and deburred, the covers went together pretty easily. There are several plate nuts to install. This is for the AFP pump and filter from Vans. The heater tabs were bent out by slipping my seamers in there and gently bending out.

Oh and you may notice, I have elected to leave the “top portion” of the fuel selector plate that you are suppose to cut off if you did not install manual elevator trim. I left this intact because I intend to potentially use it to mount USB-C charging ports and possibly the Bose mic jacks. I can always lop it off later if I want.
