New Hoses, Cowl Sanding (Firewall Forward)
2.0 Hours

I got my new engine hoses today. Here's the manifold pressure line from the #3 cylinder to the pressure manifold. I moved the oil pressure line slightly--both lines now share a single nutplate for their respective Adel clamps.

New hose from the fuel servo to the fuel manifold. Haven't connected the lower end yet because the lower cowl was in the way.

New fuel pressure cable. This may need to be moved or rerouted when I install the oil cooler in this spot--we'll see.

I mated the cowl halves again and did some sanding. The layups I did yesterday were an almost perfect amount of extra thickness on both sides. I spent quite a while sanding to make this match well.

Same thing on the left side. More sanding to do here.
