    How to switch fuel tanks on GB36

    Not being a GB guru, I would guess the upper valves are the return lines. Appears you can draw from either tank & return to either. What I find interesting is the different knobs so you know what you're doing in the dark. Cool! Like the Navy way

    Blind fly bridge

    Went thru this when I bolted the arch on inside. An access hole cut to do that revealed there are random *vertical* wood members inside it, and access is limited to maybe 18" fore & aft for each hole. Seriously, the manufacturer must have put the rails on before installing the bridge.
