I looked but didn't find anything about an access door in the wheel fairings for routine pressure checks of the tires.
With all the discussion about tire pressure on the nose wheel to prevent an accident, I began thinking that I would like to have an easy way to check pressures on all tires without pulling the the wheel pants off. Down side is you don't visually inspect the assembly each time but easy pressure check would be the upside.
Since I'm close to finishing the wheel fairings, now is the time.
I had 2 thoughts.
#1 - It would be very easy to cut a small door, hinge and back frame it for support with a latch / camlock fastner / placenut & screw.
#2 - Cut a 1" hole like the one used in the front fairing for the tow bar that would allow you to put a gauge/filler on the stem. Faster and easier than option #1 but tight quarters to get the valve stem screw top on/off.
Good ideal - bad ideal? Has anybody done either?
