Somehow, I spent 3 hours cutting out and finishing the T-405 tank attach angle.
 | After marking the rib outline on one side, I realized that the long part does not lay against the rib, it sticks out, so I marked it again (actually a few times, since I didn't like the first few outlines). Then I marked the radius for the end that sticks out from the tank. |
 | Oops, the radius does not cover the whole side, it is actually just one inch (R1 on the plans). In fact, I redrew this line several times. I used a lot of paint thinner on this part. If you just follow the plans, you can't go wrong. |
 | I got to use the Smithy, again. |
 | This is the part after the Smithy is done with it. |
 | The new $50 combination disk and belt sander from Harbor Frieght did a nice job. |
 | After filing, deburring, and polishing. |
 | All ready to be drilled to the rib. |
