Brief Description: Installed Fuel Reservoir and 1/4" AN Bulkhead Fitt
Installed Fuel Reservoir in firewall.
The brake line fittings have been a bit of a challenge given that a good deal of the work is inside the gear towers and nearly impossible to access or even see into for that matter. The external 1/4" fittings are in the inner aft corner and for the most part can't be seen from the inside. That being said, after a lot of trial and error and a great deal of griping (I mean cussing...), I was able to finally get the two bulkhead fittings in that connect to the outside where the gear legs mount. I used a dab of Red Locktite on the nuts and discovered the next day that I hadn't quite tighten the left one and it was a little loose in the hole. Red Locktite is the strongest of all the types and it was almost impossible to further tighten the nut down on the fitting. I finally got a deep socket, a universal joint, two extensions, and connected the whole thing to the pneumatic ratchet and gave it a good go at 110 psi. Seems that did the trick and I was able to tighten the thing down.
