Motor Mounts & Rudder Pedal Mounts
The mirror image of the upper motor mount. Rough cut on the
bandsaw.
The other side. No one can say I don't take enough pictures.
The upper motor mount brackets.
The upper motor mount brackets - another angle.
The left and right upper motor mounts.
To keep them out of the way while I make other components and to keep
them together I wrapped the mounts in shipping plastic for storage
until I need them.
Next I finished up the angle clips - no holes though. I'm
going
to wait until I have the phenolic blocks in hand to drill all of it at
once.
The raw angle for the "ruddle" pedal mount angles.
It is much easier to measure the pilot holes before removing the
reference edge so I marked and drilled them first.
The holes drilled to 3/16.
Marking the cut lines.
For the inner radius I drilled a hole on the drill press. I
think it was 7/16", but don't quote me on that.
The angle rough cut on the bandsaw - just needs cleaning up with the
file.
The inside of the angle.
Cleaned up with the files and sandpaper.
There is a bit of flex in the angle - There is another part that
attaches to this angle with counter sunk rivets. I'm sure
that
will stiffen it up some. I haven't bought a microstop and a
countersink bit yet so the assembly will have to wait.
The mirror image part. Note whats left of the inner radius of
the
angle where it was cut off. That has to be filed smooth.
A bit rough looking, but nothing some files and sandpaper can't fix.
The left and right "ruddle" pedal mount angle.
The other side of the angles.
These are get bent into the rudder pedal support angle. These
get attached to the mount angles with the flush rivets.
The .060 is kind of tough to bend on the brake, but it can be done.
I drilled the holes in the part before bending.
Nice clean bend and a straight rivet line.
The angle attaches to the bottom side (or top depending on perspective)
like this.
