I could benefit from some feedback on the mock-up struts that I made. It's not too late for me to scrap the idea and move on. The hinge pins will be replaced with 2-56 x 1" bolts, the pins are just for alignment purposes,also the top and bottom of the strut will be filled and rounded off giving a much cleaner appearance. My intent here was to make a strut that would fold against the fuse by removing the bottom bolt. Is it or (just like the Romans did). Your input is much appriciated...
