Subject: 360 Aileron Bay Fuel Flow Through

Hello, everyone.  Thanks for the help on the slosh bay doors.  I made a template out of foam board and need to transfer it to the prepreg and cut it out.  Is a bandsaw that right tool to use for this?  I got the slosh doors and standoffs from Lancair.  The door is 2" by 2".  Will I be ok putting one door in or should I put two per wing?  Should I put one big half moom at the top of the rib or should I put two smaller ones like the other ribs have?
 
Next, I am trying to plan the fuel flow through from the outer fuel bay to the inner fuel bay.  The plans I got from Lancair call for a 3" by 1/2" channel.  I made a foam mold for that, but I am wondering if I can get a bigger one in and not interfere with the aileron pushrod.  Does anyone know where in the manual it tells you to make a hole in the spar for the pushrod to exit out of the bay?  How far forward of the rear spar is this channel placed?  I assume it goes in parallel to the forward spar...every picture I have seen has it this way and it makes sense.  Any other pointers you can give me?  Will a 4" by 3/4" channel fit there?  I made a mold of it and seems I can fit it in between the rear spar and inspection door with the required 1" flange.  Thanks in advance!
