Brief Description:  Crotch Strap Bracket Redux

I'm not sure how I missed it the first go around, but I did. From what I understand from other build logs, the Hooker harness requires the bolt hole be drilled 1/2" lower than Van's directions. Hooker also requires an AN4 bolt rather than the AN5 in Van's directions (and the AN5-7 bolts I just ordered!). I clecoed the brackets between the ribs, measured 1/2" down from the hole I drilled previously, and eyeballed the center. I then drilled the brackets with successively larger drills until I got to 1/4". Let's just call the first hole a "lightening" hole. I removed the brackets and installed the platenuts.

Big thanks to Luke at Classic Aero! I received the carpet and leather samples I requested the other day. I spread them out and picked the three shades I liked. I then asked my wife to pick the three she preferred. Miracle of miracles, we picked the same three. Looks like we are going with Granite carpet, Mist and Gunmetal with a Graphite strip on the seats. I know it's a bit early to worry about the seat colors, but I want to spray the exposed interior of the fuselage with a complementary color as I build.
