This is great info. I already went to both websites for purchase. Thanks for doing this.

Glad it’s helpful. Thanks for watching.

Sure sure... NOW I learn about that stainless steel tie wrap tool... ::: marching right over to Amazon to buy it now...::::
Looks good. I just had my teflon lines made. Cost me more certainly but I just didn't have the confidence in my hose mojo.
Your Midwest mount looks really great - and I love the sexy firewall insulation. I wish I'd known about that before doing mine.

We’ll the verdict is still out on the hoses, I guess I‘ll see once those pumps turn on. Thanks for watching, and good luck finishing your up.

Check the fit of the fuel selector into the leather cover with those new fittings. We had to end up buying the 90 degree AN6 fittings from Andair to get the teflon hoses to fit with all the extra fittings.

Thanks. Haven’t tried fitting it on the cover yet.

I love the plane...what does TSi stand for?

[@aviationkitbuilder]

I’ve heard various versions of what TSI stands for. I think it was a play on the engine being turbocharged and fuel injected.
