Brief Description:  More F/I housing

Drilled out the hole for the manual trim cable in the fuel selector plate. It's obvious that the angle of the plate needs to increase slightly to allow the cable (not shown) to attach and route to the side of the FI housing.

The AL angle at the aft edge of the selector plate is to attach to the fwd flange of the seat floor. The vertical brackets are 'TBD' --- because of the exact position and bolt plan for the wing spar. I am NOT included to bolt up the fuel selector housing bracket to the spar bolts. It should ride in front and be attached independently of any spar bolts.

The width of the floor stiffeners is so close to the width of the entire FI housing that it is a tight stretch, and then the vertical brackets need a little trimming, too.

The fore-aft position of the floor cover (tunnel) and the entire FI housing should be determined from the firewall backward, in my opinion. Without the wings installed there is no sure way to establish the aft position. It just needs space to fit in, and bolt up (bolt head or nut).

This is a real pain --- too much guessing, trial and error fitting.
