The mount that will hold the pitot attach bracket was removed, sanded and cleaned with acetone. The mating wood areas were sanded as well. Hysol epoxy was mixed and thinly applied to the touching areas. Finally the parts were riveted in place and after 30 minutes the epoxy was smoothed into nice fillets.
While the epoxy was curing, four nut plates were attached to the pitot attach bracket with solid countersunk rivets. A handheld rivet squeezer was used to set these rivets. Hours: 1.5
