Brief Description:  Landing Gear Weldmount Installation 7

So the landing gear weld mounts are in. I did double check to make sure the wing bolts would go thru the holes and not interfere with the weld mount. They are okay.

I tightened and torqued the bolts today. I was able to do all the bolts myself although a helper would have been handy.

I couldn't get a torque wrench on the nut so some of the bolts I torqued by turning the bolt and holding the nut. It seemed to work okay.

I bought some extra long box/open end wrenches from Harbor Freight and they helped reach the nuts in between the wing spars.
