Upon the recommendation of my inspector, I had to make a new fuel selector plate to install the Andair Fuel selector valve into. I originally had my tail wheel locking mechanism installed into the same plate, above the fuel selector. The inspector raised a concern about having to reach around/over the TW locking lever to get to the fuel selector in case of emergency. Although I was copying what the factory and many other builders have done, I decided to heed the warning and move the TW lever elsewhere.
So, I made a new plate and installed the Andair valve into it by itself. Admittedly, it is a cleaner install. This plate is located forward of the seats directly in front of the flap handle. It took a few days to complete because I had to wait on lock plates to be delivered.
