All-

     Have conflicting  information. On the old hand-drawn plans for HD/HDSs, there are two L  angles riveted to the bottom rear fuse skin that are in turn bolted to the  center of the tube that goes spanwise between the steps. No additional  internal bracing, just L angles riveted with A5s to the .016 bottom skin.  Doesn't seen very sturdy.

     On the HD/HDS Cad  drawings, there's no mention of the L angles at all!

     Input greatly  appreciated.

Bill,  

I asked Nick about this a while back.  With the new style steps, the tubes interconnect under the middle of the fuselage and the extruded L's are eliminated.  There is no longer any attachment in the middle.  The difference is a short larger tube that allows the opposite tube to be captured in the middle.

Actually they are about the same length. Only one flares at the end so the other can fit into it.
