I just did a search on the topic of intersection fairings, but surprisingly, I could not find much on my particular issue. My stock Van's lower fairings do not fit well around the gear leg fairings. There are gaps between it and the gear leg fairings. Also, the trailing edge isn't well defined either.
I am wondering if this is as good as it gets, or what? Did people do something about the fit or am i worrying about it too much?
I really can't think of many good solutions either.
1. Van's has you add 2 layers of cloth to stiffen up the piece. However, i am skeptical that 2 layers of cloth will be enough to cure for a tigher fit. Am i wrong here?
2. Flox or fill the gap. However, it's just going to be ugly with how much might be required to fill the void.
3. More screws to hold things together???
Right side. It's a good quarter inch gap.
Left side. The fiberglass finish is better but the trailing edge does not want to naturally close up on its own.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated!
