I put the forward spar covers in place. \u00a0These are supposed to fit under the front edge of the seat pan, but I put it on top initially so that I could match drill the seat pan to one hole in the forward spar cover.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Here’s a closeup of the hole that needs to be drilled. \u00a0A nutplate will mount on the spar cover and a screw will go through the seat pan and into this nutplate. \u00a0If I put the spar cover behind the seat pan, I’d be drilling this hole blind.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

After match drilling those holes (one per side), I installed the nutplates and reinstalled the covers. \u00a0Next, I cut the flange off of the fuel selector mounting plate flush with the forward face of the fuel valve cover and cut a notch in the bottom of the fuel valve cover so that it could temporarily sit over the fuel pump. \u00a0I then took the fuel pump top cover that Van’s sells for the Airflow Performance fuel pump kit and figured out how low I could mount it. \u00a0Since the Andair pump kit is significantly smaller than the Airflow Performance pump kit, I had previously decided to lower the cover as much as possible. \u00a0This will require fabricating custom side pieces, but that’s pretty easy.<\/p>\n

After determining the mounting point, I drilled the fuel pump cover to the fuel selector cover.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

After enlarging the opening in the bottom of the fuel selector cover, I fit the flange from the fuel pump cover inside the fuel selector cover. \u00a0These holes will get dimpled and these pieces will be riveted together along with the side covers I need to fabricate.<\/p>\n
