Prepare Stb Fuel Tank (7V11-1K) for Installation

Located and cut 59mm level sender hole on fwd/inboard side of the tank using fly-cutter.  Slow drill/cutter speed important.  Scored hole and broke out with needle-nosed pliers using center hole.  Clean/deburr circumference of the hole.

Located and prepared tank/sender components for installation:  DX2021 Finger-screen, CAV-110 Quick Drain, F124-4B nipple fitting (to screen). F124-4A nipple fitting (vent line), VW fuel sender (317004), VDO Fuel Sender Mounting kit (226-451).  Put aside screen, nipples and drain for installation AFTER tank is in place between ribs 1 & 2 wit appropriate holes in the ribs to allow access/connections.

Bent fuel sender float arm to provide optimal levels range and prepared the mounting ring/gaskets per the instructions in the build manual & DVD. Tested the range with ohm-meter to assure that the unit was operating (10 ohms/full - 70 ohms empty).

Followed the DVD/manual to insert the mounting ring into the 59mm hole in the side of the tank noting the position of the sender plate (top/up/full).  IMPORTANT to note that the mounting screw holes are NOT symmetrical!!  Made many tries to complete the mating of the internal ring/gasket/sender before this became obvious.  Used liberal amounts of Form-A-Gasket to seal the rings/gasket/sender/screws.  NOTE for Port Wing Tank install:  wait until the assembly is ready for final closure before adding the "gunk" sealer.
