Hey Guys,
.
I made more "Tabs"
I call them Finger Tabs , because they are so long...
I used two to hold the Transponder "slide mount" in place...
I'll use the other six to hold the top of the panel...
The tabs will be welded on the cross tube... But first , I need
to get the panels shape figured out.... and the transponder in place...
Next I will "lay-out" the holes where the screws will go...
Drill them and screw the Finger Tabs on the panel...
Then I can tack the finger Tabs to the cross tube...
This will be the best way to keep everything aliened...
.
I put a couple bends on the bottom of the panel...
This really stiffened it...
The panel is 6061 T-6 , .05 thick
It was a BEAR to bend 37-1/2" of it...
Two people pulling , one on each side would have been better...
