My question is where are the divider cuts made in the RV-8 intersections when attached permanently to the wheel pant? Show a photo or two would be appreciated, Bill of Georgia RV-8A, N288WP, 10 Hrs into Phase l and trying to finish the legs and wheel pants Hi Bill, I don't quite follow what you're asking. But, do yourself a huge favor and surf over to Bob Snedaker's "Fairing Etc" web site and order up a pair of upper and lower intersection fairings. You'll be glad you did. They fit exceptionally well and reduce the amount of time spent significantly. More importantly, when you're done, you'll have an exacting shape match between the left and right sides. Here's a link to Bob's site: * https://fairings-etc.com/Intersection_Fairings.html Here's a step by step of how I did my RV-8 lower fairings using Bob's parts. 13 log entries: * http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2973&log=99660&row=82 Later, I redid the wheel pants and made a blister for the brake caliper which made them fit a LOT better. I highly recommend this modification. 11 log entries: * http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2973&log=108939&row=17 - Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 170+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv7-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV7-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv7-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv7-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
