- Step 2 - The hole in the landing gear mount might need to be enlarged a bit to 7/16 to make the elbow fitting go through. Works best with a 7/16 reamer (e.g. $21 at Yardstore).
The elbow fitting doesn't quite stick out enough to get a wrench on it when torquing the nuts. Consider adding a AN960-716 / NAS1149F0763 washer sneaked in between the bottom skin and the weldment so that the washer sits between the fitting and the weldment on the bottom side.
If you are working alone, it works well to use heavy duct tape and fixate a 7/16 wrench on the bottom skin to hold the elbow fitting in the right direction when torquing the nuts inside. - Figure 2 - If you have a return fuel line (e.g. SDS electronic injection), the brake line goes into the aft of the 3 holes, not the center hole as illustrated in figure 2.
