Steve,
I thought that the flox to the spar was just so you would be sure that you
had complete contact with the surface of the spar. It is bolted to the spar
and I don't think that any amount of "floxing", will keep the brackets from
falling off. One good jolt and that contact would be broken i
Are they not bolted to the spar ?? Virg

reduce movement. Great. now back into the garage. I am going to use T88 and
forge on.
