Wednesday - Part 1
The two parcels that arrived in the the post lead to a slight change in plans…





But before I tried to fix my fuel line problem once and for all, I did a bit of painting.

I started by masking off the BRG edge of the rear cockpit wall.



Before slapping on some Tetroseal.



I also covered the fibreglass between the cockpit wall and the petrol tank.



I then removed the masking tape to let the Tetroseal dry.



Note:
Most of this will be covered by the alloy panel, but any gaps at the edges will now look black rather than grey.

Then I started replacing the rubber fuel lines in the engine bay.

This is the new hose from the fuel pump to the carb.



The new hose was longer than the one I replaced to allow a better routing.

I also split the old hose to cover the braided oil line to prevent any potential rubbing.

Two new sections of hose connected the fuel filter to the hard line.



So far, so good.

End of Part 1…
