Music: Songs to sing in the car! (Quite a good Spotify playlist)
Although I had some more connectors to attach onto various wires Ian had some time this morning to help me make a support platform for the ADAHRS unit. As I’ve decided not to have any traditional gauges and used a Garmin G5 I need also to fit a Garmin GMU. So I also need to make a bracket for the GMU 11 unit.
After marking the bracket out on a sheet of T3 aluminium Ian uses some metal shears to cut out the outline.
Some of the cut outs for the tabs are difficult to use the shears on so a hacksaw is used.
Angled tabs are added along the length of the unsupported sides to provide strengthening.
Now for my turn. This one is for the Dynon ADAHRS unit.
The bends in the bracket are made by clamping the sheet metal in a metal bender and using an aluminium bar to bend the sheet up.
Once bent the tabs need to be cut…
and bent back to provide the strengthening support.
The finished units trimmed and drilled ready to be etch primed and installed tomorrow.
