REFLECTOR: Getting ready to close out the strakes

[Jones Nick]

I used fittings from Velocity that have a finger strainer silver soldered to the fitting. It makes it removable and serviceable. Also, I didn't do the dual pickups in the tanks, just used one pickup about ¾ toward rear of tank mounted in a hardpoint.

Best regards,
Nick

I installed screens from stainless steel mesh as per the manual.  Did you do something different?

All,
I'm just days away from running out of excuses for closing out the strakes.  I *think* I have everything done that could possibly make my life easier down the road.  The strakes are together as per the plans / manual, screens are in, the whole thing is Jeffco'ed.  I have the vents installed, fuel sending units ...

My question is this: have you all done anything else that would make life easier latter in the project that I might be missing before you closed off the strakes?

Many thanks to those who have gone before,
Peter
