Attach wheel fairings to wheel fairing brackets.
1. Final-drill #19 the U-00001B wheel fiaring aft and the U-00001A wheel fairing front to the U-00002 wheel fairing brackets.
2. Roughen the inside the of the U-00001A wheel fairing front and the U-00001B wheel fairing aft at the #19 screw locations. Clean. Coat the threads of the 8-32 screws with candle wax to prevent epoxy from bonding to them. Tape the U-00002 wheel fairinig bracket tabs to prevent the eopxy/flox mixture from bonding to them. MIx eopxy and flox to the consistency of peanut butter and build up the areas around the four screws on both forward and aft main wheel fairings. Apply enough epoxy mixture to create a recess when the brackets are pressed against, but not so much that the epoxy will capture the brackets. Attach wheel fairings to the brackets and to each other while mixture is wet. Check wheel fairing alignment.
3. Final-drill #27, 3 of the 9 evenly space #40 screw attach holes in the U-00001A wheel fairing front and U-000011B wheel fairing aft. Remove the wheel fairing front and wheel fairing aft when epoxy has fully cured.
4. Install nutplates at the three #27 holes drill in previous step. Final-drill #40 and countersink the U-00001B wheel fairing aft for nutplate rivets. Deburr the holes. Rivet the nutplates to the wheel fairing aft as per the callouts.
5. Reassemble the U-00001A wheel fairing front and the U-00001B wheel fairing aft using the three #6 screws and clecos at the rest of the holes. Final-drill #27 the remainder of the #40 holes. Disassemble the wheel fairing halves. Install the remaining nutplates. Countersink the #27 holes in the wheel fairing front as per the callout.
6. Mount the U-00001B wheel fairing aft and the I-00001A wheel fairing front to the U-00002 wheel fairing brackets using the hardware called out. Use the screws called out to attach the wheel fairing halves together.
