I assume you are talking about the holes for the bolts that go through the spar,
not the 5/16 ones that mount the gear leg.
Just remove some powder coat if necessary, but you shouldn't have to drill the
holes larger.

Howdy Builders,
I've got my gear mounts in and fitting pretty well but haven't drilled them
yet. I would really love to relieve the holes in the mounts just a bit since
some of the bolts tend to want to go in a little cocked and therefore hard to
get in. But I do see that sloppy bolt holes would be a bad thing for landing
gear mounts!
There was a comment in the archives about enlarging the holes being commonly
done and I'd like your thoughts on this. I was thinking of passing, say, a
17/64th drill thru the AN4 holes and something similiar thru the larger mount
holes. Would this be a good idea, and is an extra 64th the right amount?
Responses appreciated.

I looked at Todd Houg's web site and got some of Todd's input on his solution to
the wing wiring dillemma and thought I would also check and see what others
have done.
The tooling hole that Vans has you enlarge to install the flexible conduit for
wing wiring comes out right at the bellcrank. It will require a severe bend to
avoid the aileron control tube end plus it interferes with the pitot tube plumbing
where the pitot exits the wing. Todd drilled holes on the top side of the
rib- obviously having more foresight than either me or Vans.
Anyone do anything else creative that avoids having to drill new holes now that
everything is riveted together?

I simply put snap bushings into those enlarged tooling holes. When I got to the
belcrank area I used 1 Adel clamp to route the wires in a nice U shape around
the belcrank area. They stay nicely in place with clearance for everything.

I've decided to fabricate the modified style intersection fairing discussed on
page 9 of the third issue, 2002 RVator. It looks like a good idea but I have several
questions, if anyone has done this can you help.
Van says they made it a one piece wrap around, if so wouldn't it be in the way
and prevent removal of the gear leg faring if we had to take it off? I doubt
the intersection farring would slide up out of the way
since the tapered leg farring increases in size. How did they get the modeling
clay out?
It also looks like they platenutted the four screws onto the wheel farring??
Help anyone!
