So I bought the after market trim cable attachment brackets from

Cleavland tools and am ready to assemble.  The vans instructions say

to use a LP4-3 to put the pieces together.  The aftermarket bracket is

pretty thick and I was thinking about dimpling the WD-415 and then

countersinking the bracket to accept the dimple and then using an

AN-426 and back rivet it together.



Just wanted to get some group feedback on my plan and see what others

using these brackets have done.



thanks,



John Trollinger

Back in December, when I disassembled the airplane for the paint  

shop, I decided to attach them with nutplates for the re-assembly. It  

was a real bear to get the trim cable panels off with the brackets  

riveted on. I believe others have done this, as well.

Most folks are counter sinking the brackets and dimpling the doors like you mentioned. However instead of using rivets, they're using #8 or sometimes #6 screws with a nylon nut.

 

 Having the brackets removable from the doors makes rigging the trim cables much easier too.

I dimpled the access panels and machine counter sunk the brackets to use 

AN 426AD4-5? Don't remember the length...just used rivet gage for 

whatever worked on that combination. Comes out nice to have flush rivets 

to keep bottom of plate smooth. As mentioned, an alternative would be to 

rivet nut plates to the brackets and use countersunk screws to hold them.

John,



I drilled  my aftermarket trim cable attachments with a 6-32 tap drill 

,counter sunk the bracket, dimpled the cover and attached them with 

stainless steel 6-32 screws.

Much easier to adjust.
