You could also bend the triangle, fit it through, and un-bend it with 2
needle nose pliers.... :-)

I made a piece of triangular shaped metal too large to fit through the gas
cap hole and attached a chain to the cap. Obviously this must be done before
you install the upper strake, since the triangle has to be in the tank.
Simple and works great

WOW ...Reading a reply to TEC from SB with grading of MT and about the MT
and engine combinations...and there it was... a small gem off the topic but
in the text I had forgotten about...."Gas Cap through a prop"....Any one
chain them lil muthas down?    I was thinking about doing that long time ago
but almost forgot to ask the wise collective for input. I once looked in
Aircraft-Spruce for idea and proper chain...no luck. I probably missed it in
there somewhere. 

 

Anyone have experience or ideas that you feel like sharing? I was thinking
about putting down an aluminum hard point and using some sort of
chain...brass? Aluminum? SS Cable?  Ground it to filler ring/engine with the
wire I am putting in? 

 

First strake still open...but not for much longer. As always...thanks in
advance to all for your help!

 

Best to all,
