I put mine on the back and ran the braces to the top of the longeron (if installedon the front they go under the longeron). This put the braces in the exactlocation where I needed to install the rear Inside Center Strut Fitting andI ended up cutting the top and adding a wedge of spruce to take the loads. Imbetting that that this is the reason they are on the front. In retrospect, I wish I would have put mine on the front and added a cushion betweenthem.--------ChrisSacramento, CAWestCoastPiet.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:16:04 -0500Subject: Pietenpol-List: Off subject-- B-17 crash
