Install the nose gear strut
D 31. Install the nose gear strut through the steering
arm, followed by a 4mm collar. Slide the strut through
the lower lug on the engine mount. Slide the strut up so
that the coil is about 1/4" below the bottom of the
fuselage. Tighten the wheel collar to the strut using a
3 x 5mm machine screw.
Position the steering arm
D 32. Rotate the nose gear strut so that the wheel
(once installed) will point straight ahead. Swing the
steering arm so it is approximately 1/2" from the
firewall. Tighten the arm to the strut using a 3 x 8mm
screw. The screw will leave a mark on the strut. Remove
the strut and file a small flat at this mark. This will keep
the steering arm from slipping on the strut.
Assemble the fuel tank plug
D 33. Push one long and one short aluminum tube
through the black rubber stopper - the third aluminum
tube will not be used. Place the two white plastic disks
over the tubes. The larger disk should go towards the
outside. The nub on the small disk should face away
from the rubber stopper. Insert the 3 x 18mm
self-tapping screw through the larger disk, rubber plug
and then into the smaller disk. Do not tighten the
screw at this time.
Bend the vent tube
D 34. Bend the longer tube (pressure tube) up as
shown so that it will come within 1/16" from touching
the top of the tank when installed. Use your fingers to
bend the tube, being careful not to kink it closed.
Install the clunk
D 35. Locate the metal fuel pick-up weight (often
referred to as the "clunk") and the fuel tubing. Cut the
fuel tubing so it is 3-1/2" long. Attach the fuel tubing to
the short aluminum tube and to the clunk.
Install the stopper
D 36. The stopper assembly can now be inserted into the
tank. The pressure tube should be adjusted so the tube is
