-
Drilled the engine mount for the nose gear.
-
Deburr the various holes in the gear/mount.
-
Install nose gear stop.
-
Deburr the edges on a bunch of finish kit parts, including these wheelpant supports.
-
Start installing the brake brackets on the main gear - I'll need to make some spacers before I can finish this.
-
Put a wheel on so I can check sizes on spacers - I need 1/16" clears between the disc and the wheel pant bracket.
-
The dead tube from my first nosewheel attempt - pinched in three places.
-
Retrying the multi clamp technique, eventually I gave up and went to the 'push in some smooth metal to keep the tube out of the crack technique'.
-
Much better - worked real nice.
-
On one of the brake calipers I swapped the bleed fitting so that both fittings will face towards the floor (duh). A little bit of permatex #2 on the threads.
-
I checked the calipers to make sure they were installed in the correct direction - apparently some cleveland brakes were misassembled. I presume based on that problem the've now started stamping in this warning.
-
Installed the 90 deg aero fitting on the break calipers.
