Fabricated new T-410 plates and fuel stiffner rings - 2 hours

One of the fabricated items that I need is stiffener rings for the fuel senders that now get mounted on the rear tank baffle. I thought it was best to use the ones that are on the tank access plates I no longer need.


While the band saw was out, I zipped off two pieces for the new T-410 out of some scrap 0.063" material that I borrowed from my buddy, Mike.

Once I had the rough outlines cut, I drilled the 9/16" hole and then set up for the final trimming. The sanding station made very short work of getting them into the correct shape. A few passes in the 3M wheel and I was done.

I carefully set up the assembly and match drilled the #30 holes.

I then took a little time and cleaned up the fuel stiffener rings and made sure they were round.
