Fabricated Fuel Pump Mounting Brackets

I fabricated the mounting brackets as specified on the Andair plans.  I removed a section of the vertical portion of each of the mounting angles since I’ll be running quite a bit of wiring through this bay as well.  This is 1/8″ thick angle, so it’s still far stronger than it needs to be.  I could have probably used 1/16″ thick angle, but this is what the plans specify.

Here is the fuel pump screwed into place on the mounting brackets.  I still need to drill the floor stiffeners to the cover, but I needed to get the brackets in place so that I could drill through the angle clips on each end.  I need to order some MK1000-08 nutplates to use on these clips since regular K1000-08 nutplates are too long.
