Made ply backing plate and repeat trial fit. Think it will work.
Layed up 3 x BID pad over PORT strut.
Filled mounting holes in Axle with wax, to minimise flox squoodging.
Waited 2 hours and floxed on Axle and Backing plate. With flox involved is like trying to herd cats with parts, clamps and flox slipping everywhere. Whole thing fell off the strut once.
