I got the pre-built fuel tanks for my -9A. I'm at the stage of having to fit them on the wings. A few questions:
1) the tank access plate and associated parts (anti-rotation bracket, pickup line, fuel sender, etc) did not come assembled. Is there any reason why this stuff has to be assembled and installed in the tank prior to mounting it on the wing?
2) the leading edge of the fuel tank does not line up flush with the outboard leading edge of the wing. There is about a 1/16" gap. When I pull the tank down tight this might reduce to 1/32", but there will still be a gap where the ends of the leading edges butt up together. Is this a common issue? What do I do about it?
Thanks!
Phil
