Anyone know of a source for small J bolts to attach wedge tanks to profile fuses?

Thanks Andrew!

I was looking for ones with a lag screw end so I don't mess up the inboard fuse side. Maybe I should try the hardware store.

hi Ron,

Those 'J' bolts from Sig or Brodak will work without the nut, just drill hole and screw in, drop a little ca in place to seal. However the slickest way is to make a small angle bracket and solder onto end of tank, cut slot so bolt can be loosened and tank height raised and lowered if needed.

Hey cool! Good idea. What do you do about foam padding?

i used 3-4 pieces of thin foam R/C wing saddle tape placed vertically, evenly spaced apart, if you look close you can see one, probably more for minimizing wear on paint (oil soak) from tank. Never had issue with vibration, would probably use thicker foam for a Fox.

lol, notice how dirty engine is...need to get it out and fly it one of these days!
