The Experimental Aviator

Battery mount complete

I finished up the battery mount today. The new steel tabs were welded on the seat back tubes and the aluminum mount plate was installed. I mounted the battery to the plate with the battery box that came with the battery. The master solenoid was also installed on the aluminum plate. The whole thing is very stiff. I was a little worried about the gauge of steel used for the tabs, but not anymore. I need to replace the hardware, but otherwise the job is complete.
