I fashioned up a 1/2" wide piece of 0.025" material for the inner anti hangup guide. Using a piece of paper I created a template to test. Once I had the dimensions figured out. I cut the material, bent it, and instantly had a anti-hangup bracket. Not much to write about, it went together as it looks.
Once that was done, all that was needed was to fit the fuel level senders. I bend the float rods according to the dimensions of the plans (also in conjunction with the Van's 'Float Wire Bending Diagram" for the fuel senders). Its a bit difficult to figure this part out as both my tanks are aerobatic and the diagram is for non aerobatic tanks. So I ended up settling on a dimension just a bit over 3" ~ 3 3/16"
Then, I clecoed the side of the sender on the internal rib to find the center point. I checked full travel up and full travel down.
Im slightly more than 1/8" clear top and bottom, but I feel happy with the fitment I have,
I then transferred the center lines to the rear baffle.
