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.

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.
