Brief Description:  Drilling gear Componenets

Tap 10-32 threads into the end of the Axle assembly- one each.
Bored out the end of the 1/4" cable guide tubing assembly to 3/16" for the first 3/8" x 2

L01-05: Piloted the attach bolt hole for the axle to gear leg attachment x 2.

L01-03: Drilled the titianium gear legs in a three step process using new cobalt bits - 1/8 to 5/32 to final of 1/4. Drilled slow on a press with generous amounts of cutting fluid. Used a tube holding device with the drill press and had no issues. Holes are perfectly centered and very clean.

Reamed the gear leg attach guides (the attach bolts go through here) to 1/4 as they had significant narrowing secondary to powder coating.

Removed the powder coating from inside the main gear mount tubes on the engine mount. Greased liberally. Was able to advance the gear legs to within 2 inches but would not go any further. No amount of muscle can move this. Will probably have to sand the titianium leg at the tip but I have a tech support request in to Sonex for advice. Will wait for answer.
