Brief Description:  Test fit wheels and brakes

Now that the legs are on, let's add the wheels and brakes. Onec again, a deviation from the manual. Builders are free to choose any brake package they want. I choose Matco because brakes are important and Matco is the aviation brake authority (in my opinion). The Matco brakes don't quite fit the current main gear sockets. A corner must be ground (grinded?) off so that the brakes will fit. No biggie, but the sockets are made from some pretty tough steel, so grinding them on my gridner (inherited from my grandfather) took a bit of time.

Eventually, the sockets were customized for the Matco brakes and the sockets, wheels, and brakes could be test fit.
