With the wing tube in position trial fit the tank tray and
saddle. It’s important that you position the tray so as the
top of fuel tank does not hit the canopy frame. There is
not a lot of room to spare, so take your time obtaining
the correct angle. You will also need to lightly sand the
wing tube socket where the saddle will be glued. Also
make sure you have the saddle in the correct
orientation. When you are satisfied with the position use
some CA and kicker to tack the saddle to the wing tube
socket. Apply some epoxy to the saddle and wing tube
socket, and allow to cure.
It’s good practice to place some thin foam between the fuel tank and the tray. Ensure that any foam you use
doesn’t lift the tank too high as the tank may then hit the canopy frame. Fit the tank tray to the saddle using the
3mm cap head bolts. Secure the tank in place with the Velcro strap supplied.
