Tool fabrication
I had previously made a special wrench when we were going to use a Sonex connector for the vent line in the wing tanks. But then we later realized that this connector woudn't work so we changed to an alternate aluminum fitting. Unfortunately, this alternate fitting was a different size, and required me to make a new special "thin" wrench that will allow us to install it easily. But it wasn't too hard since I had practice. I traced the shape out on paper, transfered it to a sheet of steel, cut it out, and buffed it smooth. The final part came out nice and fits the new connector well. Hours: 2.0
