Shop temperature was 24 deg C and the humidity was 39%. A small batch of flox was mixed and applied to each of the plywood inserts and the inserts were positioned on the triangular fiberglass seat braces. Wax paper, plywood, and weights were added while the seat braces cure.
Traced the triangular plywood piece, onto the foam side of one of the seat braces and used a chisel to carefully remove the foam from that area. This was repeated with the second seat brace.
Trial fit the fuel valve to the newly fabricated bracket. Trial fit the fuel valve and bracket assembly to the triangular plywood inserts. All parts appear to fit well together !
Thanks to Jason for fabricating the fuel valve bracket ! He used type 1100 aluminum, cut the plate to size then used the template to mark the holes and the shape. Drilled the holes, cut to shape, and then made the two bends.
