Hello:
 
I just received the new brackets, for the nose geat wheel pants, from Van's
Now the big question, for some one very talented.... only....
 
The pants I have are the old type non transparents, and they are painted white of course...
 
How AQm I going to measured?, some kind of jig magic.. etc... to align the
new brackets, in order to drill, and install ????
 
I only came with one solution, but I am sure, there must be an easier one..

Sand the gel coat (and paint) off in the area where the brackets will be attached. Attach the brackets to the nose gear fork. Using a bright light on the inside of the pant you will now be able to see though the fiberglass to drill into the bracket holes.

I do not want to have littles wholes all over, then I have to patch them up..



One shot, and a precise one, lt has to be.....ANY ONE WANTS TO TAKE

THIS CHALLENGE///



Thanks for those brave ones, that respond...

Bert,

To align mine, I used the axle hole drilled out for the tow-bar - put the tow bar through the drilled hole and you have 90% of the alignment accomplished.....all you need to do is rotate it in place.

In my case, I marked the 'waterline' on the pant and according to the drawings, the new brackets have a parallel line to the waterline on the plans. This will allow you to fit everything together on the bench with the tire removed...put the axlebolt back in, attach the towbar, rotate the waterline parallel to the level line in the bracket. There should be enough room to back drill through the bracket in to the pant.......

Ralph

I got everything aligned then filled the gaps and around the
brackets with flox. When cured take everything apart and
you can drill from the inside through holes already in the brackets
through the wheelpant.
