Nice job, I love the sight gauge in mine. I did it a little different = but wanted to add some extras. If you put white tape on the back with a bla= ck line running down the  middle the length of the tube it will be hig= h lighted by the fuel making it easier to see the level. Also I put a restr= ictor in the bottom line which slows  down the bounce  of  t= he  fuel level and slow the flow should there be a leak.. I can s= afely run down to 2-3 gals of fuel.
 
I'll get a pic posted.

Jim,

Here are photos of the sight gauge on the 320 and the IV. Basically done th=
e=20
same. On the 320 I covered the AN842 with micro and shaped it. On the IV I=
=20
left it exposed. Actually, I like the exposed version better.

Thanks Bill. Any pictures?
