Brief Description:  F-863 Fuselage Fuel Tank Bracket

I found it impossible to follow the instructions and drill from inside the fuselage. So I:

* marked lateral lines where the two 1/8" holes were left open in the fuselage
* marked minimum edge distance (MED) for AN 3 bolt on the bracket
* clamped the bracket to the tank bracket and flush with the fuselage
* checked MED
* went inside cockpit and with a 1/8" drill bit made a mark on the bracket top and bottom
* centre punched the marks (note they are exactly 3" apart)
* drill pressed both to 1/8" then top to #12
* clecod and clamped bracket
* match drilled top hole #12 into fuselage
* removed and drill pressed bottom to #12
* bolted and clamped bracket
* match drilled bottom hole #12 into fuselage

They turned out fine.
