"Leave it to Vans to keep you on your toes when it comes to fabricating parts from raw stock. I tend to really like this part. :-)
I'm still waiting on an order of clecos so I can make some real head-way with building up the tanks. whats a guy to do but prepare for the steps ahead... All I did this evening was fabricate the T-405 tank attach brackets. I'm pretty happy with the way these turned out. The plans said the picture was 1/2 scale so, I cut it out and handed it to Kim to blow up to 200% on the scanner / printer. It turned out pretty darn close & I used the sheet for a starting template. Then for the rib attach side, I used a T-410 reinforcement plate as a template. One bandsaw blade later and some contouring on the bench sander & Scotch-brite wheel and we have theses bad boys."
