Ian, I have never seen a cracked bracket like that. Maybe Gil's comment ab
out aerodynamic vibration has some merit, but then I would think you would
feel something if it was violent enough to cause that. Most all planes hav
e the brake cover fairings except some of the 2 place models which used an
external Lord shock mount on top of the wheel fairing. You can no install
the brake cover fairing on these due to the interference. And all the fibe
rglass fairings I've seen installed have not had the lead weight installed
in the nose so I doubt if that would cause it.

Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Cracked wheel fairing brackets
Has anyone any ideas as to why these cracks have come about. The bracket
bearings are free and the fairing free to move. Only thing none standard, a
s this is a 79 Tiger, is it is not fitted with brake covers.
I have had the question up on the Gang, but apart form one reply saying n
ever seen before had no other feedback, thought there may be a few more in
the business guys looking on here who may have a view.
If this had only been on one of the brackets I would have just put it dow
n to a one off situation, but from the pictures you will see the other side
has started in the same place. All comments welcome as I have a new bracke
t for the one cracked right though, but don't want the same thing to start
happening again.

Thanks to everyone that replied to this topic. From one of those I think
we may have found a possible reason for these cracks.
Check out this link and further pictures. Further comments welcome.

I'm in SLC to pick up my Grumman pontoon boat! I haven't had a chance
to look at the pics,but, I saw one other inboard wheel fairing
cracked and, at the time, I concluded that it was due to the hardware
(it had a home-made spacer that was too big) on top of the remaining
hardware being installed wrong.
Be patient. I'm having prototypes of new wheel pants being made as I
type this.

I never replace the weight either. I've never had a problem not having
the weight either.
