First I trimmed the door opening to about 1/8=94 from the scribe lines. Then, as per the plans, I trimmed the door halves and drilled the index holes. Well, the first problem was that the window index holes didn=92t align ' two were off by =BD=94. Next I found the forward index hole did not match the hole left open on the forward fuse skin. TRhe door index holes is high by at least a couple of inches compared to the hole in the fuse skin. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so how did you deal with it? I spoke to Ken Scott at Van=92s who mentioned that this was a first for him. I guess I am just lucky.

I just fit the door based on pictures and look along with making sure it had even spacing from the inside.

Thanks for all of the great pics and stuff along the way guys. That Van's plate would come in handy for mounting a bunch of things. Wish they'd have had them when I built mine. But, it wouldn't have been perfect for my needs anyway. I did get it done last night though, and here is the result: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20090513/index.html The big difference is, I needed something easily removable.

Very unconventional, but I found if I put a standard wheel chock forward of the wheel, then put a 2x4 under the nut on the bottom of the fork, over the chock and then sit on it I can lever the wheel up comfortably, remove the wheel and then put boards under the fork while I work on the wheel. There are some stability concerns, but it's worked great for me using a little caution. Marcus Do not archive.

If so, it seems to work real well...better than I figured it would. The fuel imbalance, (and in my case the pilot vs. wife imbalance) can be pretty significant, so I find I use it on most of the X/C trips. No real complaints.
