Started on fuel system installation
Tonight I started installing the fuel system
Had to cut out the fuel line brackets
Fuel line brackets riveted in.
Next I installed the elbows on the fuel selector valve. They are secured with 4 screws, that need to be permanently staked once installed. I used a center punch to stake the screws
Next I installed the three nutplates on the bottom of the fuel selector valve

Time to install the fuel boost pump and filter
I noticed that the orientation of the safety on the fuel filter, as it came, would make it difficult to get access the first time I have to remove the safety wire to clean the filter. So I cut the wire and re-safety wired it in an orientation that will provide better access after being installed in the plane
Re-Safety wired. On the side instead of the bottom
