Fergus,
Monowheel Mark 1.
I placed the selector box as per the manual, however I have an extension to
bring the actual selector to the top of the "module fuel door'.This allows quick
(EFATO) selection of the reserve tank if needed!! I made my own selector like
the door handles, with the original selector bonded within the self made
selector. I also put a spring loaded stop catch to prevent turning the fuel off
unless the stop catch is pushed down. I threw away the composite door and made
an aluminum one anodized blue with appropriate markings.
No interference with the flap rod or rudder cables.
Hope this is of some help.
