I'm finishing off the tanks before fitting the wings and am installing the fuel pick-up tubes with their associated anti rotation brackets and wired nuts per the service bulletins.
The drawing shows a hole in the bracket for the AN fitting which means you have to permanently install the fitting and bracket as an assembly.
Has anyone made slotted or forked brackets? That would enable the fitting to be installed after the bracket and be replaced if needed. It will still provide anti rotation and the fitting will be held axially by the safety wire needed to secure the pick-up tube nut.
