Hi All,
Spent the entire afternoon working on the tie down brackets with poor results. I am tempted to scrap them and redo it, but since it is non structural, I am also tempted to keep them. Any advice greatly appreciated!
1) This photo shows the overall results, note the right wing, spar to bracket holes is noticeably not balanced/offset.
2) One of the spacer's rivet hole is very close to the edge. The only reason I am thinking of keeping it because it's non structural component. I am just hopping mad and wonder how this can happen. While we're on this photo, the countersink is disguising!
3) Flip side of the spacer
4) With a square, the bracket is not perpendicular to the spar. Off by 1-2 degrees.
