Stringers/structure

(1/1)

Steve:
1999 205 osprey.  Mounting a t-top.Drilling foot plate. Drilled through fiberglass and wood corethen I hit alum. Is this bracing???
It's at side of consol just back from front.any info on stringers would help.

dbiscayne:
not familiar with that year but I've never seen aluminum bracing used. could be the fuel tank or a tab to mount the tank???
Did you drill all the way through? Smell like gas? Can you push a long stick into the hole and see if it comes out wet?

Steve:
Definitely not gas tank , tank is poly and between the seats and goes toward back. I did drill it today. Scoped the area as best I could, saw nothing. Think it's a quarter inch alum that joins stringers to a structure that would run side to side. What I drilled was fiberglass  core material (wood), fiberglass  then aluminum. Tapped alum so I will run a bolt in to hold t-top down. Location is to left and right of consol and to front.

RickK:
Steve, Do the 205 members a favor and document what you're doing with some pics and measurements please.
