Primer line routing

Post by MadAero »

It's been too long since my minions took it apart so I don't remember....
We're at the point of fabricating new primer lines, all other panel equipment is removed. So, if somebody could send a pic of the the cabin primer line installation, particularly the orientation of the primer itself so I can see how it needs to be clocked to provide clearance the the keyboard switch pack it would be greatly appreciated. The '48, 170A and early 170B with keyboard switchs still installed will work.
I'm sure we could figure it out, but a pic would save us some steps!
Thanks in advance! A PM would be great....

You've likely seen the IPC drawing (not always the definitive answer, but all I have available on the road...)
It shows the 170A primer installed such that the Intake line fitting/line (Item 63) is horizontally aligned RIGHT and the Exhaust line fitting (Item 64) LEFT.
Sorry...don't have a pic of an actual installation available.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)

Thanks George! Yes I have referenced the IPC,but as you said, not always an exact clue. My concern is cleanance to the switch pack, but condisering the first key is a 'dummy' all I have to do is miss it with enough to clear and a lil' extra IF it's even a factor at all.
