Brief Description: Fabricate lower belt attach points
This step was done while I was waiting for other things to cure over a few days. Its 2024 T3 angle cut into 2" strips and shaped to make the lower attachment points for the front and rear harnesses.
I've just bought a second hand bandsaw and already have a linisher. The holes took a while and I made them at 6.3mm which is under 0.25" or AN4 size however this was just too tight and I opened them out to 0.25". Not worth forcing a press fit and risking damage. All the forces seem to be in compression rather than much shear and a tiny wiggle is acceptable given then will be floxed in anyway.
I took some care to get all the scratches out so there are no stress risers. I sanded down to 600 grit and then used scotbrite to finished off. Another pretty part no one sees once the plane is built.
