Hello everyone,
a few weeks back I posted a couple questions on 5th point mounts for a -6A. Well this week end I finished my mounts off. The mount on the left with the bolts and belt has the outside mounting plates on it. The one on the right is plain to show a less cluttered picture. They fit great. I had to go back to the sheet metal benders guides to refresh my memory on set-back, bend allowance and sight lines. The basic parts a main channel that was bent to nest in the aviation grade angle aluminum. Then the larger rectangular stiffners were added. All in all a very satisfying experience.
Hope this helps others.
Paul
