I?ve ordered some new oil and fuel hoses from TS Flightlines in preparation for my next CI. Replacement of my oil pressure sensor hose has me a little concerned. It runs against my firewall and is secured to it with two adell clamps with (I think) AN3 bolts running through the clamps and firewall with locking nuts on the inside. Getting to the nuts on the backside is going to be next to impossible but I think I can place a channel lock wrench on them and remove the two bolts. However reinstalling those two nuts and bolts will be impossible due to impossible access.
I?m thinking about putting two Stainless steel rivnuts in their place but I have some concerns about slippage when reinstalling the adell clamps around the new oil pressure sensor hose against the firewall. Have any of you done this and if so how has it worked out?
I could possibly install anchor nuts instead but I would have to use pull rivets. What?s the community think? I?m not the builder but have worked extensively on this RV.
