Fuel Lines and Temperature Probe

Took care of a few misc. items.  Along the right side, we secured the fuel line with Adel clamps, and also made a small angle clamp to secure it to the back corner of the fuel pump housing.

A temperature sensor was installed by adding a small spacer for a longer (34mm) M5 bolt that attaches through the fuel rail cover.  This puts the sensor near the engine air inlet as recommended.

A differential fuel pressure sensor was installed on the firewall.  A short 4AN fuel hose is attached on one side, and a 3AN hose (for air pressure) attaches to the other side.  The other end of the 3AN hose attaches to the airbox. 

We added a fitting to the airbox for the other end of the 3AN hose for the differential pressure sensor.  This included an M6 standoff with a 14mm long stud (purchased from McMaster-Carr), and then an M6 to 3AN fitting.  Some additional work was also done secure fuel and air lines forward of the firewall.  Hours: 12

Added some fire sleeve material around several hoses near the exhaust

We created a template out of posterboard for the glareshield, with cutouts for the center windshield tubes.  The sides of our glareshield are angled which makes this piece a little more complicated than the standard one.   An aluminum glareshield was cutout using the template, and some additional trimming was done to get the basic fit.  We drilled the holes for front attachment screws, but will wait until the windshield is installed before doing any final fitting.

We had planned on installing the exhaust springs and bolts, but found that some of the springs don't have enough clearance.  We may be able to get enough clearance for an exhuast pipe on the front right side by bending one of the exhaust hooks slightly.  The front left exhaust pipe has a spring that presses against the protective installation one one of the radiator hoses.  We will need to either adjust the hose routing or the exhaust to ensure we have more clearance there..  Hours: 17
