I ordered up a set of the fuel vents from JD Air Parts and was looking at them today to figure out how and where to install them. At first I thought it would be a cinch to mount them to the F-861 gear cover plate but the vent would cover one of the screw holes in the cover plate. I noodled around some ideas but I was wondering what others have done. No sense in re-inventing the wheel if somebody already has an elegant solution. I can't be the first person to encounter this but I didn't find anything from searching the archives.
Full disclosure, I don't have the main gear mounted in the fuselage yet. When I started my QB fuselage, Grove didn't have any airfoil gear so I skipped that and moved on. I have the gear now but I have not mounted them yet.
