 Drilled and clecoed in the T-915 anti-rotation bracket
I used my unibit to drill the big hole in the T-915 anti-rotation bracket on the drilling press. I had to go slow because the bracket really got hot during the drilling. Then I temporarily put the fuel pickup assembly together to line up the bracket for drilling and clecoing.

 Drilled the hole for the vent line
I didn't find any measurements or drawing template on the plans for the placement of this hole. So I had to guess at where it went looking at the one drawing that showed the fitting from the side. Pretty spooky. I used my unibit to drill this hole.

 Installed the nutplates on the access plate for the fuel sender
Pretty standard stuff here. I countersinked the holes for the rivets on one side and riveted the nutplates on with my 4 inch hole yoke and hand squeezer.

 Put in the vent tube and flared one end
I'm glad I saved the instructions on the flaring tool. I unrolled the tubing, cut it to length, put on the fittings and flared the end.

 Everything is ready for proseal
I will now rough up the washer and the surface of the rib, then rivet the anti-rotation bracket and proseal everything.
