Jim,
   I have the same tank set up that you do, no header and outer bays opened up.
I have an Electronics International fuel computer in the panel.  In addition, I
have the Westberg Mfg. 12" capacitve fuel probs mounted near the top of the
wing's BL50 ribs.  They go down, through a hole in the slosh baffel (that I wish
I had made larger), to the bottom of the tank fairly close to BL50.  I'm guessing
it is ~They are read on a dual tank meter from A/C Spruce that is on the panel.
The meter needles read the last ~8 gallons in each tank.  The meter calibrates
from F to E and is more precise (vs. accurate) than a full tank meter.  I have
calibrated it, to give better accuracy,  at each quarter tank mark.  It is not as
linear as I had expected, but it still gives me a good indication of the fuel
left if it should become critical.
   As I recall, my MAC servo wiring goes through the plastic pipe (do they still
use a THICK walled PVC pipe for this?) with the strobe wires into the wing tip
and then back, into the area in front of forward spar of the aliron, then into
the aileron forward spar to the motor.
