Spent the entire day working on the F-684 gussets. Ughhh these were not easy to work with!
Things started off all right with making the gusset, however I didn't pay enough attention to where the 1/8" dia holes are to be drilled. I soon figured out that I drilled them in the wrong location and I was going to have edge distance issues on the firewall angle. Crap.
Well...I have one sq ft of 0.063" material so I can easily make new gussets. But I decided that I was going to make a paper template first to double check all fit before I fabricated new pieces. I drew up a template on autoCAD and clamped/cleco'd it to the assembly.
After making a few slight adjustments to help with increasing edge distances. I cut out my new gussets.
It was an immense amount of work, but I am pleased with how they turned out.
