I posted something similar on Matt's RV List but haven't received a reply.
I have the gear leg fairings of my -8A rivited and attached to the legs. However, I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to properly mount (not align) the wheel pants. I just can't visualize the process. The pants are drilled and rivited and fit together quite well, but I'm uncomfortable cutting the holes in the pants and drilling until I really understand what I'm doing.
Anyone have any words of wisdom of links to the fitting process? There's lots of stuff out there about alignment, but I can't find similar material about mounting.
Maybe it's an irrational brain fart or subconscious burnout (today is day 1 of the 6th year of my projected 3-year build process; funny how the need for a real job to finance this passion interferes with that passion) - I did, after all, decipher Vans baffle and snorkle instructions, and the only good thing about that **** fibergalass is ease of repair of major screw ups!
