Brief Description: Battery tray / fuel selector bracket
|
|
Have been studying for my exam last several days which was tomorrow, but got brought forward to today. I passed ok, so now I can relaim the exam fees from work, but more importantly I can get on with mounting the Grove gear to the RV. Well, that was the plan anyway: unfortunately I don't have a 7/16" drill bit, so I'm stuck until I can source one. I had to order a new scotchbright wheel from Avery anyway so I've order a drill bit too, amongst other bits and pieces. I'll try to pick up a drill bit from the machine shop tomorrow morning as well. In preparation for mounting and aligning the gear I went and bought plumb bobs, aluminium angle and strings; another $123. Its amazing how this kind of stuff adds to the build cost if you don't already have it.
Anyway, since I couldn't get on with the gear, I elected instead to at least get the fuselage level (it now is), then rivet the battery box and install it (which I have), and finally to rivet together my custom-made Andair fuel selector bracket (which I have cleco'd in place out of the way).
