F-857 rear seat belt anchor

Post by 4kilo »

OK guys, help me out. The F-857 rear seat belt anchor assembly is made of three parts; the F-857A (prepunched part - easy), the F-857C (made from AA6-063 X 3/4 X 3/4 - I've got lots of that), and the F-857B made from AA6-125 X 1 X 1 1/2. So far, I've never even seen any AA6-125 X 1 X 1 1/2. It's not in the inventory for the empenage, not in the inventory for the wing, and not in the inventory for the fuselage.

I give up. The only thing I can find that's even got enough material to cut this out of is the AA6-125 X 1 1/2 X 2 X 30 in the fuselage kit. Anyone know where I am supposed to get this part?

I can't think of the part right off but I had to cut some angle down in order to get the dimensions right. Perhaps it was a part for the flap motor attachment. I think it is very possible that you will have a few places that resizing of AA will have to be done.
