Now Im thinking it may be a whole lot easier to install and finish by bonding the tank on for good. My brake systems are all easily accesible even with it on. I cant think of any reason I would ever remove it after the thing is flying. Anybody have a good argument against this? Yes. Can you easily get to all firewall device fasteners? Do yo have enough space to work on all Avionics wiring and components? Will you be able to access all nose hydraulic fittings and nose wheel well device fasteners? Once panel components are mounted, wired and plumbed can you easily get to things in the foot wells? Do you plan on remaining thin and wiry over all the years that you will do maintenance on the plane? Do you ever plan on installing enhancements that might require aft firewall access? If you are using a vacuum system, where is the regulator mounted? If you use fuel bulkhead fittings thru the firewall, are they accessible? Is your stick easily removed so you can wiggle into the foot well or send a grandchild in it to do some work?
