Brief Description:  COMM 2 Inboard Bracket Adjustment

After assembling the COMM 2 mounting brackets on the underside of the transponder carrier, and taking a close look, it was apparent the distance on the left and right sides was not the same the distance from the bottom of the transponder to the top of the radio. Since this is visible from the interior to anyone looking inside the aircraft, this must change!

I figured out that because the inboard bracket was modified, it now needed a bit of an adjustment. Drilled out the rivets holding it together, and then filed down the top of the aluminum angle so that the angle that is riveted to complete the bracket, now matches the outboard side, both at .70 inches.

Reassembled the bracket, checked for visual acceptance, then reinstalled in the aircraft.
