Brief Description:  Park Brake and Alt Air Cable Mod #2

I continued with the brackets. I made a backup plate to place in the gear tower and mounted #10 nutplates on it that would be used to mount the rear bracket for the cables.

I also profiled the bracket to remove excess material from the "square looking" angle that I had used to make the bracket. Since the lower cable which will be used for the Alternate Air Door is closer to the gear tower I was able to angle the bracket from top to bottom. It makes it look more asthetic and clears away more metal. The bracket is no where near even being any kind or interferrence to the pilot's legs....totally out of the way!

I have to work on the forward bracket to capture the end of the cable rod. Without one on the forward end though they would work fine....it would have no support and bending motion when using the cables may fatigue the tower skin......I want it more secure.
