This is the nice flashing you have to remove to fit the forward Wheel Fairing.

I used my cordless drill and a 3M sanding disc.  The drill turns slow compared to the die grinder and allows much better control of the material

removed.  It also makes the lip nice and square.

This shows how crappy the right side of the forward Fairing is cut.  Line it up like you like it and measure, mark and cut.

Left side shown here.

I then located teh center line fore and aft of the bottom.  Clamped a ruler along the line which allows me to mark the width of the tire area.

Initially I made them 5.1" wide.  I will widen them as needed later.  Once this is marked and cut it gives you something to measure from

to drill the holes for clecoes to hold the front and rear Wheel Fairings together.  This way you get some kind of symmetry on the final screw

holes.

Once drilled and clecoed and the tire hole cut I then clamped onto the tire to hold the front edge positioned so I could move the front half

and drill the outboard mounting holes.

I clamped the Faiiring to the bracket and match drilled from the outside.

Shown here is my 1" spacer.... Delrin of course.

You can see how much clearance the tire has to the Fairing.  It will require trimming a bit more inboard and outboard equal amounts.

Drilled one hole and Clecoed.

Again I was able to put my cool Harbor Freight LED shop light to good use.

All drilled and clecoed on the outboard bracket.

With the airplane lifted just so the tires cleared the ground I then measured the front and rear distance between left and right Fairings.  I rotated them

so that the measurement was the same across the front and it was across the back.  My common number was 82 11/16".   I drilled #40 holes in each

end of my aluminum rulers and clamped them together so that they were 82 11/16" between them.   Once clecoed into place I was able to rotate them

just enough to get them perfectly in alignment with one another. 

If one asks why I took the following alignment approach of my Fairings is because once the weigh is lifted off the wires in this method,  the

aircraft swings and easily moves side to side.  Popping chalk lines on my floor also seemed a bit antiquated to me.  Maybe the use of a laser line

would be a better approach.

Measuring diagonally I only had to move them about 1/4" to get the exact measurement from right front to left rear shown here.

My common number was 89 11/16".

This is measuring from left front to right rear.

And again I got 89 11/16"
