Fellow builders,
How are you handling the aft side of the bolt that attaches the nosegear leg to
the engine mount as it contacts the firewall?
It looks like it will fit without cutting a hole and putting in a plug - but it
will be touching the firewall and placing some force against it.
If you've cut a hole and put in a plug - please provide details - hole size - where
you got the plug, how it's sealed, etc....
Thanks,
Ralph Capen

Ralph,
I just finished doing this on my -6A. The hole location was shown on the FWF penetration
plans, & the hole plug came with the finish kit. My nut (actually
the bolt) just touches the plug, but is not a problem. Add washers under the bolt
head to reduce the threads showing. I used a little high temp RTV to seal
it in place.
I have heard some builders just whack a dent in the FW with a hammer. Crude, but
simple and effective. Try "pre-bending" your FW aft to provide some clearance.
