I like the looks of the Sam James wheelpants on the RV-4. Therefore I consider to swap our old-school one-piece wheelpants for the ones from Sam James.
The Sam James wheel pants are split in the two halfs in a different location than the Vans pressure recovery wheel pants: the Sam james wheelpants have the split behind the axle an the Vans wheel pants have it in front of the axle. Does this make any difference for maintenance on the wheels/brakes? For those who have the Sam James wheel pants: do you remove the front or the aft half for visual inspection and/or inflating the tire?
