Ruairidh, what I'm seeing from your sketches and Chris Gould's book, as compares to mine, are that my backing plates are alloy, rather than 18 gauge steel and they are smaller. Further, they are fastened under, rather than over the bulkhead, the ends of which are not fastened to the sides of the body. So I need to remove the wing brackets, straighten the little bend on the bottom sides of both ends of the bulkhead, and rivet them to the body. Are the rivets I would use round head alloy rivets, or countersunk flush? As well, if the proper brackets are readily available in the UK, it may be easier to buy a pair pre made, rather than fabricate over here. Can anyone confirm these two things?(rivet type and availability of ready made inner wing brackets)
