You could always rough it in Jim... I felt with a couple metal spinners in the past, I bet it wouldn't cost much to spin a couple "high hats"

The valve appears to be a std. Mil. Spec. single point fuel coupling typically used on commercial jet aircraft (B727, B727, B747 etc.)
Should you ever want one at one time there were heavy jet scrap yards in Florida. ...

I think it's a STÄUBLI SAF45 Spinning the insert would be the way to go for sure Walms. I assumed that might be expensive. If you want to ask your contacts about it some day I would like to hear what they say

Looking at several custom projects people have done I can see lots of different ways to do the rear sets.
I decided that because the H2r had a section of tube on the frame that acted as the rear set mount I thought it best to try to replicate that.

Part of the challenge here is the fact that the rear brake is cable operated and the break leaver will need to have a cable mount.
Not really liking what I found for rear set kits and seeing that most of the available kits would require modification Nick came up with some rear sets that he made and I did some adaptation. These same pegs were used on the H1r that Nick built.
After I put the engine in place and get the rear wheel mounted I can check the lever angles and the moment arms which may need to be modified.

Starting to finish some of the small brackets and mounts on the frame.
I managed to get some pictures of the fairing mounts that are well hidden low in front of the tank. I managed to replicate those and now have to get going on the rear brake cable mount and mounts for the tail.
