Gasolatpr pull pin

[Htmlkid]

So I just replace my carpet and the problem I have is the Carpet is higher then the gasolatpr pull pin. The picture shown is before replacement, my pull pin is now lower then where the plastic meets the top of the pull loop. My issue is if I reinstall the pull loop it would hold the pull pin slightly open. Has anyone experienced this issue and if so what was your fix. My initial thought is to use a zip tie to make a loop I can pull.

Same issue near the hinge of the J-bar... (you proabably haven’t noticed this yet!)

solution...  locally adjust the pile height of the carpet...

You can see how important having your mechanic on board can be...

Get out the razor, give it a buzzzzzz.......

See if you can have your mechanic verify the j-bar operation before your next flight.  Otherwise you might find you are fighting with the J-bar while climbing out...

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic...

I made this fuel selector extension with DER approval.  It has a figure "8" shaped ring which is screwed to the floor with nutplates.  The back side of it is flat on the floor with no carpet in between.  The Fuel drain side of the figure "8" has a floor (is not a through hole) as is the other side, but is machined so the thickness of the aluminum will not interfere with the operation of the fuel drain.  I took off the factory steel ring and used a ring from a key chain since it is easier to get on and off.  The Figure "8" is 1/2" thick so it also holds the carpet in place.
