Fuselage September 2006 Updates September 30, 2006 Fuel Pump Enclosure.... - 2.0 hrs Installed the rest of the nutplates and clecoed the enclosure together. Looks good ready to install. Almost. Next I have to install the fuel pump and cleco in place in the plane. Then run the tubing up to the valve. I was reading on Van's Airforce Forum about torque and torque values and it got me thinking about getting a different type of wrench that would be better suited for this type of work. I bought the one in he picture that Proto makes from Stanley. It is a dial type and makes things more easy and exact. I am going to replace some bolts and retorque as tests. This is the last update for September. Off to Austin to see The Univeristy of TEXAS play tonight.
