FWF loose ends
Hours: 3.6 | Posted in EngineWorked on more engine-related stuff tonight:
- Finished up making and installing the exhaust hangers
- Torqued and sealed the case bolts where the hangers bolt to
- Test fit the lower cowl to check for exhaust clearance, and adjusted the left side a bit to gain more space
- Rerouted the starter cable to get more clearance from one of the hanger tubes
- Added an adel clamp to the purge return line alongside the battery box
- Installed the hose portion of the breather; need to get some large alum. tubing for the lower portion
- Drilled a hole for the fuel pump vent exit, bent a piece of -4 tube, and secured it (at least temporarily) to the engine mount
- Cut a slot in the camlok strips to allow for insertion of the vertical hinge pins on the lower cowl
