Messing with the fuel selector - 1 hour

 I ordered a 90deg fitting for Aircraft spruce to see if using this fitting will work for my setup. I tried bending a double offset tube, but in the end - Nope won't work....the space to work with is just too short. I need much tighter bends. 

I reached out to Tom at TS flightlines to see if he is able to make some custom tubes. I provided him dimensions, but after a couple days of trying things, he confirmed that the space is too tight for anything he can fabricate. (Just an awesome guy by the way. He tried everything).

I did come up with one possibility, but it would require a 45deg fitting at the bottom of the selector. I will need to order a couple more fittings to see if this will work. but it looks promising.
