* For SDS installations, a second hole for an additional 90 degree fitting needs to be drilled into the side skin with a step drill. The location is specified in the premade fuel line manual (1 1/4 rear of rivet line, 1 1/2 inches up from side skin straight lower edge. The diameter is smaller than the existing hole, just large enough to hold the #6 fitting (9/16). This fitting needs a washer to increase the thickness. Consider using aluminum "AN SPACER, 6D" from Vans (needs to be trimmed a bit because there is a bend close-by. | * For SDS installations, a second hole for an additional 90 degree fitting needs to be drilled into the side skin with a step drill.

* Consider fluting and riveting F-1099G to the side skin before installing the fuel fittings and under-seat hoses as the full rivets will be hard to buck with the fuel system installed. | * Consider fluting and riveting F-1099G to the side skin before installing the fuel fittings and under-seat hoses as the full rivets will be hard to buck with the fuel system installed. | ||
* For routing the return line over the SDS pumps, consider replacing the two right AN3 bolts with two AN3-17 bolts, two washers, two 1.16” high #12 bored standoffs and two #7 Adel clamps. | * For routing the return line over the SDS pumps, consider replacing the two right AN3 bolts with two AN3-17 bolts, two washers, two 1.16” high #12 bored standoffs and two #7 Adel clamps.[[File:Screen Shot 2024-01-21 at 10.38.03 PM.png|496x496px]] | ||

* The instructions illustrate that the brake line dives down to get below the 45 degree fitting for the fuel line that uses the middle hole. If you do that, the brake line will be pushed against shop heads on the bottom of the tunnel. Better to have the brake line point a bit up and go above the center fuel fitting. The first Adel clamp should then point up instead of down. | * The instructions illustrate that the brake line dives down to get below the 45 degree fitting for the fuel line that uses the middle hole.
