I d= o have a header tank, and I have mounted my hydraulic pump between the copi= lot instrument panel and the header tank. There is actually room for that,= but not much room for the other stuff you might want to mount there. Anyway, that's not your situation. It sounds like you're considering mount= ing the pump on the vehicle centerline, affixing it to the nose gear tunnel= . Might I suggest doing what Marv did, which is to intall it to the firewa= ll towards the side of the fuselage (not on centerline)? Marv cut out a co= rner of the header tank to make a small compartment for the pump. He then = made an access panel in the forward deck. He just walks up to the side of = the airplane, undoes the access panel, and the pump is right there for main= tenance. Plus, the firewall is plenty strong to support the pump. Otherwise, what you are suggesting is fine. =20 - Rob Wolf ----------MB_8CF064AF561EDA6_294C_FEADB_webmail-d180.sysops.aol.com Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"
