Finished up the installation of the Main gear fairings, but it took way longer than I thought it would. The Left fairing was a problem, somehow when I attached the nutplates, I didn't get them centered in the holes and when trying to attach the screws they were binding. I ended up drill ing off all of the nutplates on the left gear bracket, and opening up the hole to allow for clearance and then reinstalling the nutplates. I finally got all of the holes on the fairing reamed so that they matched the nutplates I marked the bottom to provide min of 5/8 " clearance around the tire, took everything off and countersunk the attach screw holes, then atached 8 nutplates and countersunk the fwd pant. Reinstalled everything using screws and checked alignment. Amazingly it's pretty close the 'parallel' measurement was only off 1/16" as well as the vertical. then repeated the same process for the Right fairing, only the holes in the fairing and the bracket aligned much better.
