Default RE: DL-50 engine

ok guys here's my engine setup,it is all done but i still need to figure out where to mount the gas filler tubing,any ideas on that?i have a fuel dot,something very simple but i think it should work just fine,i just don't know where to mount the fuel dot,i also need to get a couple hose clamps to keep the hoses and wires in place,will probably make a trip to the hobby shop,by the way can the DL 50 be broken in with a 20x10 prop since i already have one?

i wouldn't want to buy two different props,i think im going to go with a 23x8,as for the pictures,you may not see it but the ignition is mounted on a small platform and has some vibration isolation padding,it is from a gel insole for women's shoes,very good for this application,i had them laying around since the wife didn't like them i put them to good use i had a real good idea for isolating the ignition but i don't have a whole lot of space there,i was going to suspend it with four low tension springs mounted on a piece of either G10 or lite ply,should work great for the plane that has plenty of room for it,here's a ruff sketch of the isolating platform
