Anti-rotation bracket

While waiting for another rib riveting session with John, I worked on fabricating the fuel pickup anti-rotation bracket for the right tank. My airplane will have a flop tube pickup in the left tank for inverted flight, and a standard pickup in the right. The anti-rotation bracket keeps the fixed pickup from rotating around its bulkhead mount, raising the end of the pickup and making more fuel unusable. When I mount the pickup later, the bracket’s function will be clear.

Here’s the inside face of the sender plate with the bulkhead mount and bracket Prosealed and riveted.

Here’s the outside face of the sender plate; this is where the fuel pickup will attach to the rest of the fuel system.
