Custom fuel-flow gauge mount

I had the idea of mounting the FT-60 fuel flow gauge from the same rubber mounts holding the oil thermostat. Closer reading of the FT-60 instructions and consultation with the manufacturer made it clear that this was not the way to go, due to the chance of vibration coupling into the FT-60 - especially from the propellor gearbox - and possibly causing premature failure. The instructions call for suspending the FT-60 from the rubber fuel lines as a way to reduce this coupling
