Ordered
fuel tank sending units from Van's -
The wing kit I bought did not have fuel tank sending units,
so I ordered the capacitive fuel sending units.

Drilled
the W731 Attach Holes to #11 -
I ran a bolt down through W726 into one of the nutplates on
W731 and the shank of the bolt as dragging on the hole
such that the torque required to install the bolt was
excessive. This is caused by construction of the nutplate.
The threads on some of them cock the bolt slightly when
installed. Thus, I drilled the holes to #11 and tried
it again. It was
still
just
a
little
tight,
so
I will
go to #10 and call it done.

Drilled
the W731 Attach Holes to #10 -
Drilled all of the W726 holes to #10. I had to drill out the
rivets for one nutplate because I snuck the drill bit
in just a little too deep and got in the nutplate. I
thought the -7 rivets would be more difficult to drill
out, but it went fine and you can't even tell I had to
drill the rivets out. Now there is enough clearance between
the holes and the bolt shank so they don't rub and I
can get the torque values correct.
