Lots of progress in the last few days. New fuel lines routed for the dakota 24 gal tanks. Trim system finished, more interior work done. I welded a bracket on the front of the seat frame and moved the two electrical solenoids there, so they are out of the way of the brakes for servicing. That was a big complaint of mine before the rebuild. Should make life easier. After talking with Wireweinie though, I think I am going to move the starter solenoid to the firewall.
I closed off the upper baggage for several reasons. It will be less interior space to heat in the winter, better looks, better security of items in the upper baggage, and it allows me to run a three piece fuel line from the rear of the right wing tank to the valve so if you ever have to change a line because of chaffing or leaks it will be simple. Almost impossible with the fabric on for a 1 piece line. It also cleans up the fuel line install with the L-21 glass. No longer a fuel line running through both side windows...
Nice having all that extra room in there to service the brakes!
Hopefully I will be covering the fuselage next week. Have some electrical work to route first, but its coming together...
