Hi friends,

Maybe I have made something wrong.
The tie-bar is installed, the plywood blocks too (builder manual page 27-6 -
27-Cool.
Now I would like to fit the gusset plates, but I see no way to drill on the
right side the outer holes through the plates, tie-bar and plywood block, as
there is a tank stud in my drilling line.

Is there somebody out in the world, who could give me a clue how to solve
this problem.


Many thanks,

Bruno Reith - Monowheel XS kit 379

I used a 12 inch long drill bit, once started you can make it curve slightly
to miss the Tank inlet,
works a treat!!
The other way is to use a pancake drill attachment, they work well in
confined places, Check out Ebay for used ones,

Hi Bruno, this had me stumped for a couple of days, as I have the fibreglass
fuel tank I believe the access is worse.To the rescue came a mate who works
for a local airline, and from his toolbox he produced an airdrivendrill with
90 degree head on it. As it uses collets for the chuck it has a very small
head diameter, hence you can get close to the side of the cockpit module.
two weeks head scratchin', two minutes to do the job. About eighty quid to
buy, so you may need to be resourceful in your search to borrow one!
