Guy,

That is exactly what two people at our 'port did with their S5 Kitfoxes.

Thanks Jay. I searched and searched for that.
Does that mean those brackets are screwed into nutplates?
If it’s just nuts as I suspect the stainless panel is in my way. Looks like I would have to drill out some pulled rivets to flex that out of my way for access.

No, I had lock nuts under the floor. I got them out ok, but going back in may be an issue. I'll probably use the magnet at the end of my seal pick to hold nut and washer in place until the threads hook into the nut. I left the inner brackets in place and only removed the outers. I then had to tap them out with a tiny hammer to free them from the inner brackets. Just the bracket and nylon bushing was left behind after the tube came off the inner attach point. Hope that helps.
