Just to add to Brian's excellent suggestion of not putting rubber lines
under the floor: There is not a good logical reason to put them ANYWHERE on
the Rebel, other than the proper stratoflex (or similar) fuel line from the
gascolator to the carb. All other fuel lines can (and IMH Opinion, should)
be aluminum. The only thing I would use the red rubber hose for is to
prevent chaffing of the lines where they go through aluminum bulkheads etc,
if you don't have a good supply of grommets!

generalHi Bruce
I did not rerout the fuel lines under the floor. I picked the same
forwardpath as per MAM but did not use hose per MAM. I used only 3/8" tube under
the floor. I did not take the fuel line aft of the side windows but
lowerof it down the vertical door sill, (aft of the door frame).
I then sloped the fuel line down following the FUS-28 material until it
disappears behind the rolled corners on the inside. Now with the aircraft
in the 3 point position, I am able to drain the lines thru taps in the
tube.floor. Made a special fitting to anchor the fuel lines at this point to
the outer floor. This will prevent any flexing or vibration of the fuel
lines & give a firm anchor for the quick drain etc.
The fuel line is then brought through the unused holes in the main cross
members of the aircraft (forgot the part numbers), i.e. the 2" square
seatThen follow the corner wraps to the firewall per MAM plans.
I do not think it is wise to put the rubber lines under the floor per MAM
drawings. Tearing the floor out to fix or tighten a hose clamp does not
sound too smart for me.

Brian,
Thanks for all the help. I have the old one cc-68. I was able to rig the
elevator with 35 deg up and 25 deg down. The stick clears the panel and
fewbut still stands up straight in neutral, i.e., to far forward to be really
comfortable for me. I still have room to bend it back some and clear the
seat, or just get a new one from MAM. Maybe I'll get used to it after a
otherhours. I have to much left to do right now so I'll concern myself with
*---------------------------------------------------------------------------priorities right now.
Did you route you're fuel lines under the floor?
