I bought both the left and right ELT/strobe mounts with my fuse kit (one for ELT, one for strobe supply). Looking at installing them now, before the upper skin is on my aft fuse and before it is mated to the center fuse.
I am confused about two things:
1) Based on the location the instructions have you put these, won't the ELT/strobe power supply end-up right where teh rudder cable is supposed to go? I'm basing this on the position of the rudder cable holes in the adjacent bulkhead.
2) How the heck can I drill up through the 4 holes in the bottom flange of the mounting bracket into the j-stringer?? The skins are totally in the way. Only solution i can see is to drill 3 or 4 new holes down through the stringer into new holes in the flange of the bracket.
