Brief Description:  Pitot Tube

Today I worked on the pitot tube installation. First I riveted the bracket I made to support the Graetz mount to the rib inside the wing. I used AN470AD4-4 rivets to do that. Then I riveted the platenuts that came with the Graetz mount on to the Graetz mount. I did a trial fit to make sure everything was good and it fit great!

Next I decided to drill and tap the holes for the screws that hold the pitot tube on to the Graetz mount. I used a drill press vice to hold the mount with the pitot tube in it on to the drill press. Once I had each hole squared and perpendicular I used a #36 drill bit to drill the holes. I made sure that I only drilled just as far as I needed to for the screw. The screws I ordered were NAS601-3P.

After I had the holes drilled I tapped the holes with a 6-32 tap. I assembled the pitot tube to the Graetz mount and put in the screws. It looks great!
