hose clamp. I was just going to post a message on the list about this, to
see what solutions people had.

hose clamps I can find in a big enough size to go around the nose strut and
fairing are all 1/2 inch wide. Vans calls out a 3/8 inch wide clamp. I
called Van's on this, after searching all the hardware stores, and the
aircraft supply catalogs. The only place I have not checked is
McMaster-Carr.

it shouldn't be a problem to find narrow hose clamps. I said, fine, you
guys find them, and include them in the kit.

> Bottom line is, the pant and fairing fit fine, we just need a clamp that
is narrow enough and has a small enough worm drive so it won't hit the
inside of the front of the nose pant when the gear pivots.

> I'm having a hard time getting the nosewheel pant to work out. Have you
fit that part yet? I finished mounting the pant and everything was fine
until I tried to install the nose gear leg fairing. Seems the hoseclamp at
the bottom is too high (when pressed all the way down) so it apears that I
got the pant mounted too low (by about 3/16") so now I can't hide the clamp
inside the pant... Did yours work out, or have you done it yet?
