7A Gear Weldment

[Brambo]

I just finished fitting the gear weldment and was wondering - what (if anything) are people using to fill any gap between the gear weldment and the forward bottom skin?

Proseal?

Fills small gaps and is paintable. I used it to seal my steps to the fuse side

Bruce is dead on below - forgot the fairings -

Gear leg skin gap

The small gap in the front bottom skin will be covered with the upper gear leg interstection fairing so you don't have to do anything to fill it now.

I'm not putting anything between the skin and the weldment. There's plenty of room there so that chaffing is not a problem. I did, however, proseal around the socket that sticks through the skin in hopes that I will not have unwanted critters crawling into the fuselage.
