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. :D
 
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.
 
I think your new bracket looks fine as long as you have enough edge next to the rivet hole.
If you would prefer I do have a piece left from my goof.
Let me know, I could ship Thursday but I am out of town tomorrow.
I just measured mine and it may not be any better than yours. The usable inside angle length is 3.75".
Let me know I will check this thread in the morning.
 
Use it, build on

In my completely unprofessional opinion, I can't see any reason why that could possibly be a problem. I say use it and build on. If you are worried about it you could always call vans of course, but my gut feeling says it is acceptable.

good luck

Mark, thanks for the offer, but that's just about what I have - 3.75".
I think I'll send the pics to Vans and see what they say.

Tom,

Having two left brackets need not be wasted effort! Start a second airplane, and build two right ones...
