Next on my firewall to-do-list was to make a reinforcement bracket for my gascolator.
\nI had bought Van’s prefabricated gascolator bracket, but unfortunately the gascolator drain would interfere with the cowling attachment in that location.
\nSo, I had to make a complete new bracket, here it is roughly cut..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the location I am aiming for. Note how the drain line clears the cowl attachment.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a lot of TLC, the bracket looked pretty much like the original, but with the gascolator holes in the new position.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next step was matchdrilling it to the firewall.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bracket ready for primer.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I drilled the engine control cable holes for eyeball fittings…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eyeball fittings installed, the ‘eyeballs’ not yet installed.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I decided to place my fuelflow sensor inside the aircraft, where it is nicely protected.
\nI had to make a small bracket to support it…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I was making that bracket, I figured it might as well support the current limiter I am adding to the alternator K-line. (Feeder line)
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally a small batch ready for primer. The small cylinder is the brake fluid reservoir.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

After letting the primer cure, I riveted the brackets to the firewall.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Installed the master & starter relay again, as well as the new alternator limiter.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A view from inside..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Installed the fuelflow sensor.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…and finally made the last fuel line from the pump to the fuelflow sensor. Except for the fuel lines between fuselage and wings, the fuel system is now complete.
