Hello friends,
then I'll continue with my pull-ups on the
LO2 Umbilical.
But before I'll bend the end piece of the
GO2 Press. Line, at first still to a last detail, which I wanted to leave out first, because I did not think it was that important.
And that's this
Bracket for guiding/stabilizing the
Press. Line, which is mostly hidden on the photos and not completely visible,

which is why I had to feel my way step by step, i.e. image by image.
In this photo one can see the oblique position on the inside of the
Cable Tray, but otherwise one is groping in the dark.

Here one can see already in more detail that these are two thin narrow struts, which are connected at both ends,

what one can also see in this picture, from which I have determined the necessary dimensions.

On my first try, I glued
Evergreen Strips (0,25 mm x 0,75 mm x 5 mm) together, using
Strips (0,25 mm x 0,4 mm) as a spacer. But since the spacing for the
Press. Line-Nickel silver rod (Ø 0,4 mm) seemed to be a bit too small,
I've adjusted it for the second try by gluing
Strips (0,25 mm x 0,5 mm),
what comes already closer to the real conditions and looks better.
When test fitting the bracket, however, it turned out that it was a bit too long, since it should end at the height of the upper ring on the
Feedline.
that's why I've shortened it by one strip width (0,5 mm),
which looks more pleasing,
and above all fits better into the mould, and thus could be glued in this position by means of
MEK.
With that I can now bend the end piece of the
GO2 Press. Line and its three
Fittings, what should be a bit simpler than at the
GH2 Press. Line on the other side, I hope at least.
