Plan how you want to install your ECU, solenoids, 

and fuel shut off on this tray. Be aware of the need to 
plug your data terminal in, and the need to get to the 
manual shutoff valve. 

 

Figure 119 

120. 

Make up mounts as required, and holes for fuel 

lines and wires. 

 

Figure 120 

 

121. 

Put a small plywood block at each forward bottom 

corner to mount the tray. The center ply block is a 
mount for the fuel shut off. 

 

Figure 121 

 

122. 

Sand the tray and paint it. 

 

Figure 122 

 

123. 

Plumb and wire the equipment according to 

your engine manual. Note you may need lines long 
enough to reach the engine in the rear of the model. 

 

Figure 123 

 
 

124. 

Install the tray with two screws as shown.  You 

may want to glue two small blocks to the former to 
support the rear of the tray. Connect the engine 
electrical to the ECU. 

 

Figure 124

Install your fuel pump and connect it to the 

UAT.
