Assembled Elevator +Stabiliser, worked on fuel system

Assembled the right side horizontal stab, elevator and trim tab to check the fit. It all went together well.

Fuel system

Sealed the NPT fittings on the gascolator and fuel selector. I used Loctite 569 with a primer. I also drilled holes to mount the gascolator. This was difficult to locate the holes correctly even using a template. I’m a little annoyed that the bolt heads will protrude above the floor level but I’ve put so much work into this area already that I don’t want to start over. I will still need to adjust the floor pan and drill holes for the gascolator bolts through it too. I’ve also realized that I need to disassemble the AN fittings from the fuel selector to get them into position.
