 Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:52 am Post subject: Fuel Valve Mounting Bracket |
 |
|
My quick build fuselage came with the mounting bracket F1048C-1
installed facing down. There was a tag attached saying that it should
be reinstalled face up (the U facing up). They also sent me a new
bracket in case I messed up the installed one removing it. I am now in
the process of installing the fuel valve, an Andair unit. I have made a
mounting plate to rivet to the F1048C-1 so that mounting holes will
match the Andair valve. I am ready to flip the mounting bracket but
find the flush rivets on the aft end of the bracket are 1/4 inch from
the vertical panel of the seat mounting structure. I do not have a
drill that will fit in that close of an area and my rivet gun is too
wide to drive a rivet in that space. How have others made this change?

I cut the sides off the bracket and riveted two pieces of angle aluminum to get the width I need, got the Andair extension, mounted valve as low as possible, then cut the extension to required length. I did not want the valve up near the top of the tunnel, as that creates potential for vapor or air lock. I got the right angle fitting from Van's catalog to make the connection at the bottom of the valve.

Dave,
that is an interesting statement, as according plans facing down is correct. As I did another setup (Andair) I had to swap it as well; a long 3-4" drill bit and a good, deep mark in the center, did allow me to drill it out, slightly bend in the middle. I did use a bucking bar on both sides and had the mushroom set on the outside bucking bar (you need a helper!) with that approach I was able to set that last rivet however it took 2 attemps!

Kelly,
The only right angle fittings I can find in Van's catalog are tube/pipe. Both my valve and filter have male tubing connections. I would need a right angle with female tube connections on both ends.

It is called the F Swivel Tee. There is only one female fitting, as the other two are intended to have female flared fittings connected to them, like virtually all of the fuel system connections.
