Brief Description: Nosewheel Pivot Assembly - Part 1
Starting with installing the nosewheel. The first part is to attach a reinforcing plate and trim opening to match.
This is an aluminum plate. As you can see, I have primed it with a self-etching primer. This installation went fairly well. One thing to note is that the parts list shows using AD64H rivets. Actually, the included rivets were SD68BS. As you can see, I have primed them too.
