REFLECTOR: fuel strainers

[Jorge Bujanda]

Noel,
Hard points in the kit are made of 1/4" thick aluminum that one drills and taps; there is
nothing special about them.  The fittings provided are Flared Tube / Pipe Thread and any
of the following (size 6D) will work with the finger strainers.  The flared side fits the
3/8" aluminum fuel line and the pipe thread side screws into the finger strainer and/or a
hard point tapped to 1/4" pipe thread.

Hope this helps

Jorge,
thanks for the pic.

My kit is old enough that I don't think that I have that 
fitting or hardpoint.
Anyone have an AN number of that fitting?

What about the hardpoint?
So far all the hardpoints that I've used have been factory 
supplied.
Is there anything special about them? or are they just 
Alum. plate?

Noel
