Two hours to almost finish the gas struts support brackets. for the rear support I fabricated two spacers (one per side, the plans tell you to make four with half the thickness, but I had the material). The spacers are then counterdrilled. Before that I had drilled the support bracket and then only cut them from, it's easier this way to support them during drilling.



The two froward block ar also drilled and then cut. The outer holes get tapped. The inner hole still has to be enlarged and tapped, but I don't have the correct drill. I'll have to order one at Avery.
The blocks have to be slightly radiused so then don't interfere with canopy frame.
The plan show that the outer hole have to be countersunk, but I d'ont think it is necessary, or only very lightly so it will be done during assembly.
