Hello all,

My Alon A2 has the two fuel cutoff valves in the standard locations: 

- main valve, between header tank and carburetor, is a few inches in
from the instrument panel, about midway between pilot and passenger.  It
is hidden from view and the pilot or pax must reach down and underneath
the panel to find it.

- secondary valve, between fuel pump and header tank, is on the far
right side, about midway between firewall and instrument panel.  It is
very much hidden from view and somewhat difficult to find and reach in
flight.

During my first annual for the Alon, the mechanic was concerned that
these positions, though apparently in their factory positions, are not
safe in an inflight emergency.  He would like to come up with extensions
for both and move the handles to the panel.  He suggested I post here
and see if anyone has done this already.  If so do you have a copy of
the 337 we could use?
