The firewall is all but done now - except for the Oil/Air separator.
Behind the firewall I've done all the hoses - fuel and oil and made up the fuel hoses partly on the engine side.
The capacitor mount is now done - just got to bond in the composite screw posts that will hold it in place.
I finally got around to completing the fuel senders. The thing that was slowing me down was the confliction with the O-ring channel - I asked Pete about this and he says that he just cuts a thread into the plate for the top two bolts and has them flush on the inside. So that's what I did too. Just have to install and wire up these now - then calibrate when the fuel is in the tanks.
I've started back on some wiring too - the fuel pumps are now wired up.
Hopefully I will get the engine mount and other things back from the welders this week - then they can be painted and I can get the engine back on for good.
In the meantime I am working on the lower fuselage panel - which requires a little bit of fitting. When it is sorted I will put some nut plates on the brackets I bonded on earlier and sort out the nut plates for the oil cooler ducts.
