The drawing above shows the components and the process of assembly so that you can see
how the parts all fit together, while the photo below right shows the actual fitting taking place
in the fuel filler opening.
Note that the blue ring terminal will be
pushed down to a horizontal position before
the screw is tightened so that the earth wires
will not foul the fuel cap when it is fitted.
The braided length of the earth cable is the
fuel cap retaining cable and it should now be
connected to the bottom of the post on the
fuel cap with a ½” machine screw with a
drop of Loctite 242 on it.
The fuel filler cap, which comes partly
assembled on the card, can now be placed
into the opening with the locating dowel
fitted into the recess at the rear of the opening and tightened in place and the vent tube
opening can be taped over until after painting.
The vent tubes will be fitted to the fuel filler caps when the wings are being prepared for final
fitting in the
Post-Paint>Wings>Prepare wings for fitting
task.
