Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 5)

Continuing on with prepping parts.....

During this work session, I separated the F-14110 Crotch Strap Brackets.  The plans excerpt below shows how the pieces came together from Van’s and how they need to be separated.  Since there are two seats, there are two brackets (four pieces) that need to be prepared. 

Here are the four brackets separated, cleaned, and deburred.  Kinda looks like four little aluminum faces smilin’ back at ya!  The pieces are now ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer.
