I added the nutplates to the left main wheel pant then set it aside and moved on to the nose wheel pant.
I match sanded and drilled the joint. Then spent some quality time aligning and marking the pant in preparation for mounting. I deburred and installed the nose pant brackets. This included drilling and trimming the standoffs. I'll have to wait to install the pant to the front gear until I have the engine mount bolts.
