Fabricated and mounted the top VS attach angle.

I could not find anywhere on the plans where these two bolts were supposed to be.  I measured off the 1/2 scale plans and used those dimensions.

I used a 90 degree drill attachment and drilled the top two bottom holes through the aex wedge.  After doing so I measured where the bottom two holes will go and I don’t have good edge distance.  I have an early kit and the planes indicate locating the VS 8 1/8 inches from the top of the angle (pic 1 above) to the top of the metal hinge brackets.  I’ll call Vans in the morning.  I imagine they will tell me to just drill the bottom two holes slightly higher and avoid the two pre drilled holes in the aex wedge/tiedown.
