I noticed that your FAB is very close to the gear leg, a problem that I also encountered on my 7A. Not sure what you did to alleviate the problem, but I used a hair dryer to soften the fiberglass at that point and used a pipe to reshape the area to conform around the leg to provide enough clearance. Once the area was softened, I simply pressed the pipe into the area and reshaped it. This did not affect the position of the element and was way easier than cutting and reglassing as some have done.
