Oct 17, 2022 2 fuel selector and cabin fuel lines Category: Fuel System
Secured the fittings to the selector with loctite 648 per andair service letter. The options were to stake them with a punch or apply loctite. I ordered the specified loctite via amazon a while back because its a fuel proof basically permanent version. that stuff isn't coming apart.

Installed date selector and snugged up the feed lines, then once they were fixed in their final position, measured cut and flared to teh measurement that I obtained to the tank fittings while the wings were installed. this dimension was approx. 3 1/2" on one side and 3 5/8" on the other from the fuselage skin to the shoulder of the cone on the tank fitting. Moral of the story; If you rough these in early in the build, you better leave yourself at least 4" to work with or youre likely going to be building new ones.

Fortunately, I had done that. no drama and I think that everything should mate right up when the wings go back on.
