Manual Reference:  ANL Doubler
Brief Description:  Make Doubler for ANL Fuse Holders

Decided the mounting of the ANL fuse holders needed a doubler for added strength. There is some weight and leverage on the holders when all the electrical cables are attached. I sure don't like drilling bunch of holes in the firewall, but thats what it takes. Made the doubler, primed and painted it and installed the nut plates and riveted it to the firewall. Proper length of AN426 AD4 rivets was 4.5 but I didn't have those so I cut down longer ones to the right length with the rivet cutter. Worked fine. Awkward positions to be in during the riveting with the engine mount in the way. Used a swivel flush head to work around the blockages. It all went good. One of the mount 10/32 cap screws was located under the copper bus bar which meant I had to remove the starter relay, to remove the bus bar to install the permanent screw. With the different copper bars and right angles, you can't just take a wire off. Its interrelated to each other because of the tight fit. Maybe I should slot one of the bus bars.
