I'm getting ready to install the fuel level sender in the aft wall of the second bay of the left fuel tank. Essentially we need to replicate the hole that the sender goes through in the standard installation.
Here's some questions for all that have gone before:
- How do you prevent getting chips in the tank. And if you can't, how do you get them out?
- How do you set the rivets for the five nutplates around that 11/2" hole? The access hole from the inside into the second bay is only about 2" so you cant' buck them. My squeezer won't fit through the 11/2" hole.
- I assume we throw away that big thick rubber gasket and use ProSeal? That's what Tom at Van's said about the cork gasket on the large access plate. Kind of suprised me. Why do they supply it if you're not supposed to use it? OK, rhetorical question.
