The old hard point had to come out and it didn’t want to. I won. Pic 1 shows where it was, you can see the peel ply yet to be removed. Now this area is well repaired with a couple of glue cycles and more of my precious fuel safe epoxy used. The new straight bulkhead fitting is in place. I have moved that hard point 2.5″ to the rear. That’s what was needed.

Pic 2 shows where it is in relation to the feed pipe from the strake. I am using a straight fitting because I have discovered the 90 degree -6 Speedflow fittings which are ideal here.

Pic 3 and you can see a nearly straight pipe going to the on/off valve. Its fits well and is more ‘relaxed’ than the other two attempts. The hose has a slight bend in it for strain relief although it is not under stress. Yes now I’m happy.
