Holes on factory bracket don't align on NG puck upgrade.
Hello all,
Slowly getting the 'puck' NG installed on my 650B (sort of). Anyway, I got to the put it together and check fit (while waiting on anti-corrosive to get here from Spruce).
The 8 holes on each side of the main bracket do not line up with the 8 holes that were riveted on the firewall bracket. Some do (see photos w/clecos).
Does this matter? They all get drilled out for bolts.
Also, the photo with no annotations is just for "Does this look right so far?" 😉
TIA!

I don't know if they've changed the design - maybe it's different on the 650, but I was an early adopter of the pucks on my 750 STOL and it looks like you need to move the entire bracket up another set of holes?

What John said. That bracket should move up to underside of cross channel.
