Hey folks,
I'm planning a big Aircraft Spruce order and want to include the material that I need to make the flanges for my camloc install.
It looks like the longest pieces I need are 0.050" aluminum to build the mounting strips alongside the cowl. Are folks using 0.050" as well for the flanges around the edges of the firewall? I've also seen mention of 0.020" shims required for the skybolt kit, but I don't see anything about shims in the milspec instructions. If not, can I get by with a long sheet of 0.050" for the entire install?
Thanks for bearing with me, all! Getting close to riveting down my upper forward fuselage and it'd be great to be able to get started here.
