This is what I fabbed for my 7a. It took three hours start to finish. I used
a four inch long piece of Heavy MS grade 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" angle. I don't recall the gauge of the aluminum though.

Yes. I'm in on the bike rack. I already have nice bikes and don't want to shell out for the folding ones as there's no room left for anything else.

Alan... after hacking away at a refrigerator dolly... to scavenge parts for my short little wife to reach the pedals.... I am thinking that your thinking would undoubdtedly be prettier. Was that a convoluted sentence? YES.
At any rate, if the idea makes the list, let us know.
I will be first in line to buy a set.

A machined fuel tank sender/access plate and ring that uses controlled compression o-ring seals. (top-hat shape with o-ring in a groove around the cylinder).
Attach screws go into blind holes in the ring, so no sealing needed on those. Use drilled socket-head cap screws to secure the plate, and run a lock wire around the group to secure. Only sealing required would be for the ring that gets riveted on (like the fuel filler flange).
Or, something like that.

Steps
Alan -- before I install the poorly made steps from Vans on a 9A, I would really be keen to purchase some well designed and manufactured steps that were not prone to failure after a few months of flying.
Judging from the number of failures of the current faulty batch, it seems with some decent engineering, many people would benefit from your quality.

Wrench for A model spar nuts
It is very difficult to get a wrench on the nuts on the lower spar bolts on 7A & 9A models (maybe others also). The landing gear weldments get in the way.
A custom wrench that would hold all 4 nuts at one time would be a big time saver.

Remove the "A" from the equation and problem solved

I will second this suggestion.
