Made the W-925B W-925C angles pieces for the flap brackets

These guys are riveted to the W-925A Flap Hinge Brackets. The W-925B angles were already cut to length and have a slight bend on one side of the angle, making them easy to identify. However, the W-925C angles have to be cut from a long piece of AA6-063 x 3/4 x 3/4, which (by the way) wasn’t marked any where on any piece. This is where a lot of time is wasted trying to figure out where the hell this piece is. I have all sorts of angle pieces in the kit to choose from. Hmm, which one is it? After thirty minutes of digging and getting madder by the minute, I decided to look at the parts list in manual. There I found the 2 angle parts listed, W-925B and W-925C. The part W-925B, which is already cut by the factory, had AA6-063 x 3/4 x 3/4 listed as the material it was made from. The part W-925C had the same material listed for that part. Ah-HA! All I had to do then was find a long piece of angle that matched the size of the W-925B piece. What I found was piece of angle that was about 4 feet long and then knew that that was what I supposed to use. A simple label on that 4 foot piece would have saved me a lot head-scratching time.
