Beginning to put the 7A back together after tearing it apart for panel upgrade. Two quick (maybe) topics:
1) Replaced the fuel transducer with a Red Cube. Transducer was located on the floor in the tunnel between the rudder pedals. The Red Cube inlet/outlet sit higher than the old transducer. We were able to lift the fuel lines a half inch or so off of the floor to make the connection. Is that OK? Is there a gravity issue or any fuel flow issue we are missing? Also, this modification raised the fuel filter, also in that tunnel, enough that the tunnel cover no longer sits down. Planning on refab’ing a new cover that will sit a little higher. I know this will impact the carpet a bit, anything else I should be aware of?
2) When we removed the canopy, it seemed that the builder had a bunch of washers taped (with 15 year old paper tape) to the frame the canopy rests on. They went everywhere when we took the canopy off. Are they shims of some sort? If so, any guidance on that process?
Thanks in advance!
