Brief Description: Bottom Rudder Epoxy for Brass Inserts

Decided to make screw attachments stronger than what is suggested. Drilled pilot holes for 4-40 screws to fit 4-40 Brass inserts into aft Bottom Rudder Fairing for tail light assembly. Epoxy and Flox from West's was used to secure Inserts into Fairing. Let cure for a couple days then sanded for a nice fit. Brass Inserts work really well as the have opposing directional serrations that make it nearly impossible to strip out and turn once epoxy cures. Bottom Rudder Fairing to be riveted in place later during wiring.
