Angier,
Fiberglass moves. Not much, but it does move. Live with the
difficulty. It will be better after everything has lived together for a
while.....

I began
construction of my header tank way back in time when fish came ashore and grew
legs. This tank was fit to the fuselage and secured in place with hinge pins
on each side and while all this was taking place, my engine was still a
figment of Lycoming's imagination. Some years later and with the engine
installation complete, I put the header tank in place and attempted to insert
each hinge pin.
They were very difficult to insert. My latest theory is
that 300 odd lbs hanging off the firewall causes the longerons to flex inward
just enough to cause a slight misalignment between the hinges bonded to the
tank and their mates bonded to the fuselage.
I'll get to test this
theory shortly during final installation of the tank by using the hoist to
remove some of the engine weight from the firewall.
