(Matt Dralle) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:26:53 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV7-List: Wheelpants Part Duex - Air Access Door & Misc... I'm happy to report that my second wheel pant installation on the RV-8 is coming out very nice. With the Grove gear (I guess), I'm finding that I have to add a large cutout to clear the rear brake caliper. I didn't do this on the first set and found that it put undue stress on the whole pant assembly. Now I just have to figure out how to make a "blister" to cover it. Anyone know of a premade fiberglass blister about 2.25" wide that I could just epoxy to the pant? Anyway, here's my real question. Has anyone used these little doors on the sides of their RV wheelpants to access the valve stem for checking the pressure? Drilling a 1" hole sounds like just the right amount of work to me at this point... http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapages/accessdoors.php ..
