Front door sills / GPS tray

Front door sills

Screwed the cedar door sills into place. They seem very solid, and quite light.

GPS tray

I had finished making the tray last night and a,ready corrosion proofed it. This morning I riveted it into place between the top fuselage stringers.

Exhaust tunnel

Clamped the exhaust tunnel in position with station B lower bulkhead to start to visualise how it all goes together.

Fuel selector and pump, filter.

Started mocking up the lower fuel system to get an idea of how it will fit together. I used an adel clamp to secure the filter to a cross-tube, but couldn’t get tight enough to hold securely. The next size down is too small to fit. More research needed.

Static ports

Cancelled the original order of static ports from Aircraft Spruce and ordered the Dynon kit from them. It includes all fittings for both pitot and static system.
