Brief Description: 02 - Wing fuel tank LE support brackets
Wing fuel tank LE support brackets
I fabricated the left and right leading edge support brackets, opened up the internal angle to 95 degrees and bent the lower tabs as best I could to fit the shape of the fuselage. I didn't want these putting pressure on the wall of the fuel tanks when bolted to the fuselage, so I set them in a shallow bed of Devcon aluminium epoxy. Once that cures I can trim, polish and drill for AN3 bolts through the fuselage (hopefully corresponding to existing rivet locations) and 5/16" through the flanges I think (need to check).
