The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

I had some rust on the triangular brace where it attaches to the posterior strut left wing on 1946 140. I unbolted it, removed superficial rust, primed it, painted the area and had a heck of a time rebolting it. The bolt I took out was slightly bent so I think there was a prior difficulty. Is the positioning of the brace on the strut likely to cause a problem with flight characteristics?

The strut itself is adjustable, so a slight error in positioning the bracket shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure nothing else is damaged in there. Your butt is hanging from that bracket...

Thanks John, appreciate the comeback, James
