I'm in the process of building the fuel tank straps, etc... for my Patrol. Does anybody have a good idea for a way to make the tensioners other than trying to drill through a 3/8" rod? That strikes me as an issue to keep good and square.

How about sliding it inside a 1/2 square tube? Or a set of v blocks. There are also drilling fixtures for drilling into round stock. Dan scratch build patrol #243Dan - Scratch building Patrol # 243. -

Gavin, You've been busy! I was thinking about a jig just like that today. Figured somebody would make cross dowels that would work, but none to be found. Guess we'll go into jig modeDavid Edgemon RV-9A N42DE flying RV-8 N48DE flying Patrol #232 N553DE in progress ! Plans built.Comment
