Oil Tank Mounting Bracket
The oil tank is to be mounted to the front of the starboard footwell using a steel bracket. To make the
mounting bracket first mark out and cut out the steel sheet LB01 according to the drawing at the end
of this chapter. Next, bend the central wide portion into a curve to match the outside of the oil tank.
This can be accomplished by running the metal backwards and forwards across the corner of a
wooden bench whilst applying a bending force on it.
Finally, bend the lugs each side of the curved portion so that the two narrow flanges can sit flat
against the footwell front face. See figure 1. Bending can be done by clamping the steel between
lengths of wood in a vice. Try to avoid a sharp bend radius, a 10mm (3/8") radius is ideal.
Make a 90° angle bracket from the narrow strip shown on the template and rivet it to the top right port
side using TLPD424BS rivets -it should fit on top of the footwell.
Bracket installation
Arranging the bracket with the upper lug fitting under the oil tank lid, fasten the bracket to the tank
using the two number 6X size jubilee clips. Keep the clamps away from the radius of the bracket.
With the engine and lower cowling in place position the oil tank and bracket onto the front face of the
starboard side footwell. Position the tank so that there is reasonable clearance from both the engine
and cowling.
