CUSTOM WING & TAIL TIEDOWN EYEBOLT HOLDER

  Here, I am tapping the holes for the custom holder for the wing and tail tiedown eyebolts.  I don't want them out in the airstream while I'm flying, and I don't want them bouncing around the inside of the cabin, either.  So I made this block out of 3/8" bar stock to hold them. 

  Here is the finished holder for the tiedown bolts.  I will rivet it in place somewhere; maybe behind the passenger seat.  I primed the 2 wing tiedowns, but not the tail tiedown yet.  I had to get that as a separate order, cuz Van's catalog says you need 2, and so I ordered 2.  Later, I realized I'd need a third one for the tail.  They're as close together as I can get them and still be able to screw them in and out.
