Front tank lug mount
Tap front lug hole for 6-32 bolt
1/4" ply front mount bolted to tank lug
Plywood outline traced on foam fuse bottom
Area of foam removal
Remove foam from under header tank floor. This is where I learned I should have made the tank floor cover the entire front compartment.
Ply wood tank mount rounded to fit foam shape behind nose gear doors. I did not work too hard here since it on the bottom and out of site
Header tank floor extended, drilled, and counter sunk for a 6-32 flat head bolt
Header tank fits over bolt
Front and rear tank mounts glued in with E6000, weighted, and let dry overnight
Internal plywood braces cut from 1/8" plywood
Brackets installed on inside of each duct. Epoxy is used on the wood to wood contact areas and E6000 is used on the wood to foam contact areas. This to help spread the load over the foam holding the tank on the jet during G loads
