 If you notice that the fuselage fiberglass is built up a little too thick in the area where you
are mounting the fuel tap, be sure to grind down the fiberglass a little and/or enlarge the
hole.
Fitting the cockpit carpet
Four pieces of carpet are to placed on the cockpit's front wall (behind the motor).
 The two identical side pieces should be placed first, then the thin upper piece and then
the main piece.
 Before placing the thin upper piece, cut a small triangle out of the upper edge to make
room for the windscreen's placement clip.
 Using the adhesive spray, coat the insulation material and spray the carpet which goes on
the inside of the firewall, allow to dry then position and mount the carpet.
 When dry using the soldering iron with a knife blade cut the openings in the carpet for the
additional holes.
