16 NOV 15: Page 33-10 steps 10-12, page 35-5 step 4, page 35-9 step 3: 3 hours
Riveted the wear blocks to the baggage bulkhead corrugations, riveted the splice plate to the aft tunnel cover assembly, riveted the nutplates to the F-1015D-L/R mid cabin side covers:

17-19 NOV 15: Tunnel insulation, brake line/fuel line/pump part fabrication: 8 hours
Installed the center tunnel insulation and prepped brake/fuel line parts and fabricated brackets to mount the fuel pump/filter – no pics.

21 NOV 15: Fuel line/system fabrication: 3 hours
Spent quite a long time figuring out how to install all the center tunnel fuel system components.  Close to the final, but not quite the final configuration:

22 NOV 15: Fuel lines: 8 hours
A very long day of messing with the fuel system.  Began by fabricating mounting brackets out of angle to mount the pump on the left side of the tunnel:
I then attached the filter to the kickplate on the side of the pump:
This location will make most of the components very accessible by the access panel:
Finished the session by fabricating hard lines for the filter and transducer:
My tubing bender was not large enough, so I made this temp lines bending them around a 1.25” piece of PVC.  When the larger tubing bender arrives, I will fab the final lines.

23 NOV 15: Disassembled fuel system, prime, page 36-3 steps 2-6, page 36-4 1-2: 7.5 hours
Primed the fuel pump mounting parts and a few remaining pieces:

Removed all the fuel system components and final installed the center tunnel insulation and brake lines:
Brake lines from tunnel to gear mount:
