The standard av-bay installation is 2 rivets 180 degrees from each other.
Measure 1.5 inches from edge of tube and mark.
Install coupler to halfway mark & drill hole with 5/32 bit and install rivets.
For high performance I will use 3 stainless 2-56 cap head screws.The BP is tapped for 3 or 4 hole installation.
Place BP into coupler and slide into payload to the halfway mark.
Shine flashlight into coupler to illuminate the holes. [works better if you slide lite into coupler about 1/2inch from BP]
Mark hole, remove coupler/BP & drill hole.
Install screw to check for fit, and mark next position.
Removes screw & coupler/BP & drill 2nd hole.
Repeat for 3rd.
Do you use any type of gasket in your Av bays ? What i mean is ,between the bulkhead and Av bay itself to protect the electronics and insides from BP blast.
