duster centersection detail needed

[bigblackmastiff]

Hey guys.


My centersection on my Stearman knockoff is similar to the Acro/Starduster with a ply bottom. A friend is going to do some load calculations for me, but i need to decide on some details first.


I'd like more detail on how the straps mount...they look like they fit around the outsides of the spars on the dusters.


I'd also like to know the dimensions or capacity of the tank.


I've attached a couple of pictures to illustrate what i'm asking about. If anyone has built one, or has a set of plans to look it up i'd appreciate it. I'm just considering using the same method.
