More Plenum Work and Fuel Lines

I added more glass to the front edge to bring it out past the face of the template.

While the fiberglass was curing, I got started bending the fuel lines that go from the fuel selector out to the wings.  Each side will be done in three pieces, a piece from the fuel selector to between the support brackets (as seen here), a second piece from between the support brackets to just outside the fuselage, and a third piece from there up to the fuel outlet on the tank.  Each section will be joined with an AN815-6D union.  This is necessary because it’s essentially impossible to maneuver longer pieces through the holes in the support brackets.

Started Final Fitting of Plenum

With the templates I made yesterday taped in place, I installed the plenum and taped it down.

I trimmed the inner edges of the ramps and added some glass to get the plenum to fit tight against the forward baffles.  Here’s the right inlet.

Here’s the left inlet.  After curing, these fit really well, but I’ll need to extend the glass on this side about an inch on the inner edge.
