Hi RV-7A builders
Hi, I'm just finishing my main gear wheel pants and darn they are tipped up 1/2 inch. The rear mid line measures 8 inches from floor and the front mid line measures 8 1/2 off the floor. Laterally they are within 16th inch of parallel to airplane center line.
Do I need to correct this or is this close enough? They look level. Fuselage is level. Drawing the center line on the pants was somewhat approximate. guess work.
The problem with correcting this is I think the rivets in the 808 bracket that bolts to the axel hub will be too far forward.
Hearing your experiences with this are appreciated.
