I removed both wheels again and installed the inboard and outboard mounting brackets and cotter pin in the axle nut.

The aft edge of the front Wheel Fairing requires trimming to fit the rear fairing.  Trimming and maintaining a nice symmetrical aerodynamic

shape is all up to you.  Its kinda hard to know what areas to remove to maintain total symmetry.

Shown here I marked a line 3/4" forward from the lip on the rear Fairing and then a line 5/8" aft of that.  I did it this way because it allowed

me to use 2 different stainless steel rulers which where different widths and it made the job easy.

Found center fore / aft / left / right and using a pattern from the tire I marked the outline in which to cutout the area to clear the tire.

More details shown on the next page during the making of the left Wheel Fairing.

All cut out pretty like.

After center line was found front and rear I drilled #40 holes to attach the stands.  I made a couple of them to hold the Wheel Fairing 8 1/8"

from the floor.  The plans say approx 8 3/4" which was not even close.

After fitting the Fairing using the 1" spacer on top the tire is how I came to this measurement.   Kinda cute huh?  Looks like a small

Hindenburg..... Lets hope it never sees a fire. ;o)  

I cut the hole to clear the axle a little off but no big deal.  This area will be completely covered with yet another fabbed fairing later.

The stand allows you to rotate the Fairing to match the tilt angle of the tire and align it parallel to the Fuselage.
