Drill through the bracket into the forward and top surfaces of the starboard footwell and bolt it in
place using AN525-10R10 bolts and MS21042-3 nuts with AN970-3 large area washers on the
inside to spread the load .
Oil tank installation
Reinstall the oil tank to its mounting bracket and orientate it so that the oil tank return fitting, which is
identified as the pipe which enters the tank at a tangent, is pointing to aft and slightly to starboard.
Screw the two 90° elbow fittings to the tank fittings, arranging the tank return fittings as shown in
figure 2. Connect up the hoses to the tank as shown in figure 2.
Oil tank vent
The vent from the oil tank allows an oil mist to escape to atmosphere. It is not unusual to run the vent
line to the bottom of the cowling, however if you do this, don’t position the end of the tube such that it
will be in the airstream whilst flying. This could cause low pressure at the end of the tube to suck
more oil from the tank than it should.
Another consideration is that the oil mist will tend to coat the fuselage if left to vent freely. To avoid
this you can run the vent line into a collector bottle before it goes to atmosphere; however, no bottle
is provided.
