After finding what I thought would be adequate space on the panel for one of those cigar lighter receptacles touted as a power source for charging an iPad, upon receipt of it from Acft. Spruce (p/n 11-01294), and finding it a bit bulkier than anticipated, I thought I'd found a dandy place...namely, a nice flat horizontal area on the CM just starboard of the raised housing for the throttle, forward of the hand brake, convenient for pilot or passenger. Monowheel builders beware! Lurking beneath it is the flap control rod...something I discovered only AFTER drilling a nice neat 1.125" dia. hole and attempting to retract the LG. I do love the forgiving nature and repairability of FG composites... (sigh).

I did not need to drill the white nylon bush, as it may take a few attempts and in doing so you run the risk of making the TT holes bigger and this is where the unwanted movement is started. With Pat's clamps you set up the whole thing in one go, that includes the brass bushes too. then your dun. NO DRILLING. Easy and solid.
