Wow Ed, That's EXACTLY what I did on mine. After screwing in the AN842 I ploped a big gob of micro over each end of the tube and fitting. Then sanded it to a nice shape and painted it the same color as the panel. I also masked off the front of the tube and painted the back white for better fuel visibility. Looks good, works good, lasts long time. Great minds surely think alike!
