Brief Description: Drilled Inboard brackets to wear plates
Flipped the fuse back and reamed the 7/16” and ¼” holes in the WD813 gear weldments. Flipped it back to upside down. I inserted the AN6 bolts thru the inboard wear plate and thru the U804 inboard bracket. Clamped this assembly in my drill press vice. Used the inboard bracket as a guide and drilled a 7/16” hole in the wear plate. Used a new bit, set the drill press to 480 rpm and away we went. Lots of pressure and plenty of cool spray lube—cut thru the wear plate like it was butter. Repeat for the other side. Holes turned out very nice. Marked all of the brackets and wear plates so they would be oriented in the same position each time. Trial fit the inboard brackets to the fuse. I need to level the fuse before adding the gear legs.
