Fuel tank moved back into place (for good this time)

New plumbing installed and the tank is beginning to be tied in with purple heart.
First pic: Fore end of the fuel tank cage shimed to perfection.
Second: Lifting into place.
Third: Final product of reinforcing of the fuel line fitting and return, (reddish glass). And a carved depression in bulkhead to make it fit in. It happened to be where the two pieces of bulkhead met and had been reinforced.

Fourth: inspecting fit.
