Fuselage

Fuel Pump & Filter ( 2 hrs )

Step 3-5, Sect 31-04 installed Fuel Pump and Filter (Andair FX375 - MK, Serial No 32590).  Used thread sealant for filter attachment to pump.  Four machine screws attach Pump to F14108A & B mounting flanges on bottom of Fuse.  Required slightly spreading flanges ~1mm, so reversed a clamp.   Done...whew! (rare to have slight difference in holes positions).   Installed Firewall Elbow w/ sealant, and LH & RH Elbows at Fuse Side Skins (these two are left loose for now).  Drilled holes in Rudder Pedal Bearing Blocks (now that I found template!) per Sect 33-05 Steps 1&2.  Ready to trial fit Rudder Pedals.
