Here's my great helper Caroline.
I had to drill out make another F-883A fuel valve bracket. The bracket was drilled such that the valve was 90 deg clockwise from what is should have been. The picture below right is of the new one. I also bent and installed the line for the left fuel tank. The hole required in the fuselage is 1" but my Unibit only goes up to 7/8". Access from the inside isn't the greatest so I think I will wait until I take the wings off so that I can get at it from the outside.
Bending tubing isn't fun for me. As a diversion I drilled the right console using a template Vans provides with the wiring kit. I then installed the switches, propped it and the instrument panel in position and sat down and made airplane noises.
