With hull work near completion i had to come up with the stand. The kit offer ugly little stand , so i decided to mount it on brass and wood.
I`ve drilled two holes in the bottom of the hull in place of kit mounts.
The nut wasnt enough to offer enough torque strength , and the fit was a little loose.
...so i cut brass sheet slightly bigger than the nut.
...and fixed , bending the sides to hug the nut.
The fit is much better now. This will stop the nut sliping , and give me more confidence when tightening the stand.
The bolts will run through the brass knobs /:rotfl:/ and be screwed tight to the wood.
TBC...
