STEP 4: Pilot Detailing – Cut Bar continued...
Figure 21: Once the cut bar is mounted, a tiny amount of cement applied between each mount and the bar itself will keep the bar from moving. Figure 20: When mounting a cut bar, begin with the two center mounts. Once these have been cemented in place, the two outer mounts can be added. Once the holes have been drilled the cut bars can be easily mounted by placing one eye bolt over each end of the cut bar, then holding the cut bar over the pilot and placing the legs of the eye bolts into the 2 center holes with tweezers. Next, hold the cut bar in place with one finger and place an eye bolt over each end, and insert these into the outer holes. When the cut bar is fully in place, cement can be applied from the rear of the pilot.

Sometimes a cut bar may lean upward due to stress between the mounts and the bar itself. To correct this, place a small weight (such as a screwdriver) in the center of the bar causing it to lean downward. Apply a small amount of cement between the mounts and the cut bar to hold it at the correct angle.
