Aft strut attach

A little effort on the aft strut attachments...

Drilled the attach points in the forward strut (I'm out of AN3-16's now, so had to put in a bolt order).  Also I put the sleeve into the aft strut and put in six rivets per the drawings.  Then with some filing, the aft strut can bolt in the correct location with just enough clearance to not rub.

I also did the other side, but again with the running out of bolts, it's not put together.
Here is the strut attach point on the fuselage.  I do have the AN42B-16A installed per Goat-3 here.  Still looking at options for the cabane attachment, so this counts.

Yup.  Every bolt/hole/fitting is one step closer.
