Fuel line

I am planning to run the fuel lines in a similar location to what is shown
in the archive picture, but under the floor. For the section that runs under
the horizontal part of the door sill I think it will have about a 5 degree
down slope. I am wondering if this will produce a net down slope in the 3
point attitude?
Also, I will obviously have to go through the cage uprights. I plan to drill
a 1/2" hole about 3 inches down from the top of the strut/gear brackets
centered between 4 rivets. The edge distance looks OK for the rivets. Has
anyone done this?
I think I can use continuous lines for the buried part by installing them as
I rivet the forward fuselage structure together, so I shouldn't need any
extra inspection holes. We'll see.
Thanks
Jesse

I finally got busy at installing my new exhaust and the first problem was a
conflict with the gascolator. I had to move it near the centreline to miss
the muffler but now the gascolator is too close to the carb to run the hose
directly from one to the other. My choices for routing the hose are wrap
around the carb, use 2 90degree fittings to make a loop across the back, or
make a 360degree loop behind the carb. I'm leaning towards going around the
carb but I'd like to know what the collective wisdom is? Thanks Guys.

My advise is to use the least amount of fittings possible.
it helps avoid leaks.
