This is the tricky bit for the fuel line into the sump tank. First, we discovered that we couldn't use flexible tubing on the pilot side because of the awkward angle required to maneuver around the gear leg.

We made a prototype using heavy electrical wire. Using that as a 3-D model, we made an approximate shape with the aluminum tube. Jerry climbed into the fuselage and fit and tweaked and bent and cut and flared. An hour later, we had the piece in place.

We were surprised that we managed to do this with our first piece of tube. We had expected to have some scrap pieces before we got it right.
