With the light weight fiberglass fuel tanks made,it was time to make the fuel tank holding brackets. These were made from plastic sheet, ( was not easy to make), and going by a lot of close up pictures on internet. The cables holding the tank brackets were made from real cable from a push-pull rudder control on a park flyer airplane. Nothing like using the real thing right?. These cables were made to be removable from the tanks so painting was made easy later on.A rubber mold was made to make more bracket if I needed to later in the future.
