Today I opened the required holes in the upper stringers to 4.0mm from 3.2mm to accept the new gussets & spacers. PGC came over & helped with formulating a plan to match drill the undercarriage channel to accept the new doublers, thank you. Rather than remove the channel, I'm going to attempt to drill it in-situ using templates I manufactured today, that will entail de-riveting the 'gear mount, inserting the templates & clecoing it all back together in order to retain the alignment then drill & rivet from inside the channel. I'll paint all the pieces before this happens however I'm going to be busy with work over the next few days so this will all need to wait until next week.
