I just started designing my fuel tank this past weekend. It will be a nose tank only, no wing tank and I plan on welding the aluminum myself. Currently, I am making up a model template of the entire tank using craft type cardboard. I realized so far, I have not allowed room past the tank for wires/cables to run from the pilot seat through the firewall. I will either make room, or I may install a tube through the tank for the cables. Still working out the size/shape/details. Just some words for thought...=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:35:27 -0800 (PST)

TryDillsburg Aeroplane Works114 Sawmill RdDillsburg, PA 17019717-432-4589 They don't have a website or slick catalog but if you call they will send you outa price sheet. This is not a high tech operation but I have heard they supplymost of the steel to places like ACS and Wicks. I have found prices to bepretty good but check against ACS's catalog. I ordered my cable from them at about 1/2 the price of ACS.--------Jon Coxwell GN-1 BuilderRecycle and preserve the planetRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:51:56 -0800 (PST)
