These two brackets are going to be used to hold the ends of the Bowden cables
for the two heat controls. In a past life, they were z-brackets for the fuel tanks.
After fabricating the brackets, I decided to finally get around to removing the bottom
nutplates off the center spar cover brackets.
I used the drilling jig I had made previously to drill the new second rivet hole for a miniature
single lug nutplate.
After slotting the screw hole and countersinking for the extra rivet, I got these nutplates riveted in.
This was a major pain in the back (literally) since it's really cramped working in the forward part of
the plane. I think I pulled a muscle in my back. Gah.
Next was to drill the hole for the second Bowden cable. I used a drilling jig to get ensure the hole
was centered on the vertical stiffener.
...then opened the hole up to #11.
In order to correctly locate the Bowden cable brackets, I used some 3/16 steel rod to position
them before drilling them to the firewall.
A bit of deburring, dimpling, and riveting later, they were attached. Looks good!
