Engine Plumbing, Alternator (Firewall Forward)
2.0 Hours

I figured out a good way to support the fuel supply hose between the mechanical fuel pump and the servo. I drilled a hole in the mixture control bracket and attached an Adel clamp there to hold the hose.

This clamp is oversize--I need to order a smaller one for this spot. I will also use an all-metal lock nut to secure the screw.

I also installed the fuel pump drain and associated hose/tube.

The small metal tubing passes through a hole in the skin/firewall flange. This seems like a spot that will wear out over time, but that's how the plans have it. I need to add some safety wire where the plastic tubing meets the metal.

I also rough installed the B&C 60 amp alternator on the front pad. This still needs to be tensioned and the bolts safety wired.
