Title: Tank attach brackets
Big day of work today. I cut the stock angle to the sizes given in the plans and used a compass to draw the 1 inch radius on them. This thick angle became very hot while cutting it and sanding. It turned out very nice I believe. I also had to form the 2” section of the angle to fit into the inboard rib. An easy way to do this is to use the doubler vans gives us for the interior of the rib. Mark the center of the attach bracket and also mark the center of the doubler. Lineup the center lines, put the top curve at the top of the bracket and trace. Walaa! Cut, sand and deburr. The instructions have us drill holes in both the bracket and doubler through the inboard rib. A rough diagram for the holes are in the plans. Following that and keeping edge distances where the should be, the holes were marked and drilled. First drilled on the bracket, then with the bracket clamped to the rib, the holes were drilled into the rib. Remove the bracket, line up and clamp the doubler and back drill the holes into that. Everything clamped together to make sure it fit appropriately. It did, Atleast for now. Now onto the access panel…..
