Since I’m still waiting on the thread sealant to continue work on the brake lines, I took tonight to make a mount for my fuel valve.
I’m using the Andair EFS20x7-T fuel selector valve. I ordered it directly from Andair, and the exact part I ordered from them is “1 X EFS20x7-T,3/8 Type 7 Extension Fuel Selector :,countersunk,6 Inch Ext. Tube” which includes the 6″ extension, seen in purple below. The stock fuel valve bracket that comes with the kit doesn’t fit this valve. It’s actually too narrow, and one of the mounting holes lands ahead of the bracket. So, I took some nice thick scrap aluminum and made a bigger plate that I then drilled to the stock bracket. Next I cut out the bits of the stock bracket I didn’t want anymore, and I was left with a nice bracket with the same dimensions as the original, but wider to accommodate the new valve.
I clecoed it in place to see how everything looks, and all is looking good. The extension (the purple bit) is obviously too long, but that will be cut down later when I fit my center console.
Again, still working on camera placement. This one is a little better, but I’m still not happy with it!
Ed…. Following in your footsteps with the Andair fuel valve. There are many combinations of fuel extensions for the valve. Could you tell me which one yours was? I already have the valve.
