Brief Description:  Battery mount (cont)

Continuing to work on the inboard attach angle I placed the tube mount, battery tray, and inboard mounting angle into the mounting location and clamped the tray to the inboard mounting angle.

After making sure the location was set for everything, I tightened the bolts and cleco clamped the inboard attach angle in place. Then I unclecoed the tray from the outside attach angle and removed the entire assembly. I set up on the bench and clamped the square tube to the workbench. Because the opposite flange of the battery tray got in the way of the drill, I used my angle drill since I had a 1/4 inch threaded stubby drill bit.

I found some -4 bolts to use while setting the angle but had to put a bunch of washers under the heads(see pic 3) in order to use them.....I will be placing an order for the proper size bolts for bolts I need.
