Default IDIOT!!!

Anyone wanna trade a nicely fabricated T-905L for their angle stock? Yep, I made 2 left ones instead of one left and one right - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr





It's still a little proud of final size so custom adjustments can be done.

Must be a lot of idiots out there building RV's. I've seen this identical post many times. I may have posted one myself.

Default Good Company

So I'm in good company. Someone therefore must have the other half of the AA6-187X2X2 1/2 they had to buy... Anyone willing to part with it?

OK, I went back to my left over stock and was able to fabricate the following from what I had left:



It was a little short, and the yellow triangle at the top shows what would have been there if what I had left over had been longer.



It's 5/16" shorter than planned. Anyone have an opinion on this? Acceptable?

As long as your fastener holes for the AD4 rivets don't violate edge margin requirements I can't see that ever being a problem.

Nope, just the left one. I didn't want to build them both together in case they leaked. I figured if the first one leaked I might learn from that how to make the second one leak proof.
