I re-installed the
pants on the nose wheel and checked to be certain the fairing clears the nose
wheel strut and the it also clears the tire by at least ½". I need to start work on the nose gear strut
fairing.

Nose Wheel Fairing
This afternoon I
set up the work table in the garage and started to install the nose wheel
fairing onn the nose wheel. I removed
the nose wheel and drilled out the ¼" hole to 5/16" and installed the
bolts, nuts and washers for the tow bar attachment. I used the microstop to countersink the rivet
holes on top of the wheel fork then riveted the nutplates in place.
