Talked with my friend/A&P - and he suggested to do just that - matched the original install as much as possible. Made up a new line and placed the gascolator in the old spot. Will do a leak test. Got the electrical system mostly hooked up - will finish that this weekend, along with engine controls. Brakes are bled and hold tight with no leaks! Was surprised the new lines from ACA are soft hose rather than the old clear tube. Little more flexible but one isn’t able to see if the level has dropped. Just have to keep an eye on the reservoir and for leaks I suppose.
A bit of headset noise from the beacon and strobe that I need to chase down. I’m sure that’ll be a fun project… At least with the windshield still off that’ll be easier to access!
