There is a 6-32 or 8-32 screw and blind nut that hold the top wing to the fiberglass supportdon't forget it! If you can make a mold with the foam and then 'glass it, great. This center pylon or brace is HIGHLY functional, in my opinion. A chunk of foam ain't gonna cut it...
Thats the way I am talking about, though I didnt see the screw. Let me first try the fibreglass (or wood) replication route if someone has the expertise or time for it. It is at times like this that I wish I had a 3d printer-scanner or a cnc machine or atleast a pantograph. It would be so easy to replicate it with a dremel then!
captinjohn, the camera's not working now else I could have been the first to put one up. The broken brace is gone but I have the replacement brace (from the other kit) which I will post. I am taking the part to a couple of auto repair shops today to see if they can replicate it using their fibreglass kits. I have a 4mm blind nut (here only metric sizes are available) to use and I need to order some anyway locally for replacing those in the firewall and LG where I wont use the stock inch screws. Worst case would be an order for replacement fuselage but that too unlikely tight now
