Hey Graham, I'm well underway with my cobra attachment but need to sort out the venting before I bond it in. I have a sight gauge and the normal vent to plumb into the cobra. I have the black grommets fittings, the ones you install in a hole in the cobra wall and then push a barb through with an elbow fitting. Pity it doesnt come with a T piece, which would stop me having to install two, have you any specific suggestions as others have said you have a mod, I havent heard of it unless it is the new standard up and over one, hope alls well with you two,
Reg

Tim's aluminium elbow is highly recommended, it stops a lot of the fuel smell in the cockpit, but make sure all the molding flash is carefully cut off the Cobra so that the rubber tube jopints sit snuggly and seal to the Cobra, and the tank stub

Tony,
See attachment in fixing the aluminium pipe supplied by me.
It is purposely too long to allow for different fittings.
Position the “cobra” first with your splash moulding.
Don’t forget to reinforce the skin behind the cobra moulding with 3 layers of Bid to prevent deforming skin in hot temperatures (Aussie)
Cut it, the pipe, gradually back , a little at a time until you have the correct fit.
The rubber piping at each end allows for mistakes.
Once it is joined up then do the lay ups to the wall for the cobra.
Puts some blue foam at the back of the cobra to allow for the shape and expansion.
Cheers,
Tim

I use AN fittings, not sure about rubber gromets. Wikk they degrade in Mogas?
We're fine thanks, off to Turkey for a week 31st. Hope the Palestinians aren't near where we're going!
