I'm back on the false-floor kick and intend to use the technique of putting some .063 3/4x3/4 angle onto the floor stringers in the RV-7A. Here's the question I have for those of you who have gone this route: How many pieces of angle should I install and how big are the pieces?
I assume you install nutplates on the angle pieces to screw down the AL "floor", but how did you locate those holes.
Did you attach the angle to the angle on either side of the center cabin cover angle? How did you prevent the fastener (bolt or rivet) from interfering with the cover?
I bought a big 4x4 pieces of aluminum (nothing like a $115 charge for shipping for that puppy!), and I'd like to tackle this this week but am trying to think the technique through a bit.
