Here, the aluminum brackets are mounted on the pitot tube.
You can also see the modified aerodynamic tubing which we originally purchased to mount the pitot tube through the fuselage shell. We cut the tubing at an angle that matches the fuselage ceiling, and it helps create a stable mounting point for the pitot tube.
At the rear of the bracket is a mounting bolt. We created a simple sleeve for this bolt from a scrap piece of aluminum tubing.
