Dornier Do17Z engine braces?

[Phil]

Would anyone have a clear photo of the engine braces that the Do17Z had fitted?

all I can find are dark undefined photos opn the web

I guessed and came up with this -

Whatcha think?

will be painted flat black

I'd have to say they look too heavy. Here's a pic showing the Bramo Fafnir mounting on a Do24T. Note the thin, tubular struts- they support the cowling, not the engine. Hope this helps!

PS- Really enjoying your build- I was a hair away from building mine but chose the Me410 instead.

Thanks Chuk! damn wish I had asked first!!

Get some thinner rod Phil, nice work with what you have though.

worked on reduction all tonight here is how they look now.

not sure how much these soft rods will allow me to scrap and sand!

I had to stop on the one on the left, the Ca glue let go on three of the rods so they are curing now.

Cheers!

Obviously Chukw's picture was of an older mark aircraft.

Yours,however has the revised/updated engine braces-which replaced those original puny ones.

Thanks to Jugjunkie for these, Cheers Geoff!

I think my effort will do, I'm not even going to attempt those arrangements!!!!

The pics don't lie- I led you astray! I'll have to knuckle down and study these- that arrangement isn't immediately obvious- and I've got to get to work! Thanks, jugjunkie!
