Today was getting serious about positioning the front wall of the sump. I’ve re-trimmed it so that the rear stick holder bracket is at the very front of the sump and now there is excellent stick clearance.
I’ve angled the front edge and matched the sides to fit this so that the top will fit on easily. This small blending effort has trimmed nearly 2 liters from the tank’s volume. I’ll still get 14 liters in which I feel will be enough to accept the fuel return from the engine.
Pic 3 and I’ve made some access holes for cables and fuel lines. I may need to make them bigger later so I’ll leave the edges unsealed for now.
