"If you're into one stop shopping, order all your tank hardware from ACS. If you're into saving a few bucks, shop around. VA-112 drain flange from Van's is $8.50 and from ACS $15.95. That's just one example. Tank rivets from rivetsinstock.com are 1/3 the cost from ACS.

"And it's cheaper yet when purchased from Skygeek.

The sealant from ACS has a 4 hour pot life and the Flamemaster is 2 hours. Installing tank ribs for 4 hours straight isn't for the average bear. I mixed in 25 gram batches which was enough for one rib. When I'd had enough, I quit. Two hour pot life works just fine for that.

"Also, they have a different brand of Pro Seal that is much less expensive. I used it to build wing tanks for my KR and had no leaks. I will be using that vs what is in the AS wing kit."

"Van's is a good source for one stop shopping for all the fuel tank hardware. To save on shipping, consider adding a pitot tube and 2" NACA inlet to the order.
VENT P-100 is the pitot
VENT SV-1 is the cooling air inlet that mounts in the side of the fuselage
