Installed all 4 Fuel Lines per Sect 31-06 to -11. Perfect fit - Thanks! Aircraft Specialty. Really challenging to access most of the coupling nuts. A 11/16" crows foot wrench was essential. Per 31-08, installed eight Bracket halves to capture Fuel Lines. Dug deep into tool box trying variety of attachment combinations...some pretty creative. Glad when last of those were done. Van's product support Sterling called late today responding to email about Rudder Center Bearing Block not fitting correctly. He recommended checking if assembly was bowed due to heat from welding, and bend straight if more than 6mm off. But my straight edge revealed hardly any (less than 1mm) bowing. So OK to trim off top surface. Used table saw to remove 3.5mm from plastic bearing block top surface. Now it fits perfectly, with no added drag to Rudders, and zero interference with Center Support. Yay !
checking alignment prior to joining coupling over flare. Love my new mirror w/ LED lights !
