How do I shorten the mounting distance between 2  items ( my filter and fuel pump) both with male AN6 fittings. The shortest  length of solid aluminum tube I can make up is +/- 2 inches. It would also  help if I can get an elbow with a female AN fitting but that seems not to be  available. If I bend solid aluminum tube the radius and the tail needed for the  fitting takes a lot of space.

  

 Thanks

  

 Mike

Hello Mike, It is a bit difficult to envision your set up. Are these two 

items in line or mounted side by side on a bulkhead? I have some potential 

solutions in mind, but it would be helpful if you could take a picture with 

a digital camera and post it to this list. A direct copy to me would also 

expedite things.



There are many kinds of fittings beyond those sold by Aircraft Spruce -- I 

am sure that there is a solution. Check out part numbers 934106, 915106, 

921106, 981506, and 983206 on this web page just to get some ideas flowing:

Thanks for your help OC, I'm afraid there are no photo's yet, I was just 

laying the parts out and would like to keep the fuel filter in the wing well 

outside the fuselage to reduce spillage if  I ever change or clean it if 

that makes sense.



The parts you mention (934106, 915106, 921106) appear to be exactly what I 

am looking for.



Thanks for your help



Mike
