Am I blind or what…   April 1st, 2006

Remember this picture from my previous post?

Well, these white angle brackets (VS-410) need to be moved down by one hole!!!

Of course, I figured this out after I had drilled the two extra holes in the top bracket. The bracket now has two holes where there aren’t supposed to be holes, and the rear spar and reinforcement bars have an extra hole in the center.

So, I’ve decided to throw away the bracket and order a new one…only $5 plus shipping (i.e., around $15!!)

The ‘extra’ hole in the spar falls right on the edge of an optional 2″ lightening hole. So, I’m going to make the hole 2-1/8 instead. To make sure I don’t get too close to the next lightening hole, I’m making the next slightly smaller. The end result is that the distance between the two holes remains the same. See the next entry for pictures…
