Brief Description:  Nose gear pant

Started working on the nose gear pant. There are a pair of aluminum spacer blocks to machine into shape, I chose to buy some pre made by Aircraft Specialty, well worth the money for the time saved and the accuracy of the final parts. The pant front and rear halves get frimmed and mated together. I got as far as initial drilling and clecoing the havles together. More cutting to do and making a clearance hole for the nose strut to go still. The mounting brackets were marked for drilling and this will get done next time I work on these parts. If you look at pic 3 you can see I have a 3/8-24 bolt in the spacers vs the socket head bolt called out. Seems Vans sells a 3/4" and a 1-3/4" size of these bolts and I got the wrong (shorter) ones. Must have missed the mistake during inventory but I have correct ones on the way.
