Manual Reference:  FI Kit
Brief Description:  More FI housing

I used 'street' bolts to position the cross-ties (steel) that are pre-drilled at the factory to match the wings, spars, and bulkhead. Each plate is labelled for its appropriate position to match the drilled holes.

The wooden spacers are approximate, (1.125") instead of exact (1.25") but it's close enough for this task. I need to visualize the manual trim cable routing and alignment with new FI pump/filter housing. The fuel selector and trim knob sit atop the housing immediately in front of the spar. There must be enough clearance to attach the FI components without interference with the spar bolts.

The original route was determined by an earlier plan, since abandoned due to FI configuration.

The new route appears to align almost directly with the floor stiffener, but the wing spar structure will dictate precisely where. The web of the spar contains some vertical reinforcements between the bottom and top bolt holes. The trim cable will have to route to one side or the other. It must also be high enough to go over the spar bottom 'flange', and still under the fuel lines from the left tank.

Not too many locations fit that profile ... still measuring.
