hey all -

made tons of progress on the fuse this weekend, but i left off at the temp install of the gear mount (where you mark and drill the holes for the floor rib. i cursed a bit, and wiggled, pushed, tapped, and otherwise made my best effort to cajole the things into place, but they are fighting me... anyone else have any trouble with this part? i have the left one in, but i don't know how i'll get it back out - the bolts were really tight to get in... the right one won't line up at all. anyone have to apply a bit of judicious buffing or clearancing of things in the neighborhood? harrumph.

Chris,
Fear not - you are not alone.
I too had to work pretty hard to get the gear mounts installed.  First thing to check is that you have no interference with the forward gear mount brace against the outboard forward seat rail support.  I needed to grind a bit off (the seat support) for clearance.  I also found that I needed to sacrifice a few AN3-14 or -15 bolts to make alignment pins.  Once the holes were aligned, the bolts went in with a bit of Boelube.  I think I needed to run the drill through a few holes that were out by a few thou'.
cheers,
Ron

I had to open up one side of the bottom skins where the round mount extends through the bottom. Both trimmings were on the outside portion. Maybe an 1/8". But it was enough to keep them from going in.

Also. there are a couple of places where double flush rivets are required. They were on the bottom of the wing spar carry through. THey will hold the mount up high enough for bolts to not fit.

Do Not Archive.

I recently did the gear leg mount install and was surprised that mine
almost jumped into place. I probably spent less than 30 mins fitting
up both of them. I found that the only issue was relieving around the
hole in the bottom skin where the gear mount tube protrudes. A die
grinder and a sharpie pen were the tool of choice to getting about an
1/8" clearance all around the tube leg. Interestingly, I noted the
double flush call-out for the skin rivets that are located just below
the gear leg weldmount, and mine did not require that extra clearance.
The weldmount easily cleared the shop end of a stanard rivet and it
caused no issue when putting the gear leg in. So I'd say the variance
in the weldmounts is enough that you should check whether you really
need double flush rivets in this area.
