• Drilled the engine mount for the nose gear.

  

• Deburr the various holes in the gear/mount.

  

• Install nose gear stop.

  

• Deburr the edges on a bunch of finish kit parts, including these wheelpant supports.

  

• Start installing the brake brackets on the main gear - I'll need to make some spacers before I can finish this.

  

• Put a wheel on so I can check sizes on spacers - I need 1/16" clears between the disc and the wheel pant bracket.

  

• The dead tube from my first nosewheel attempt - pinched in three places.

  

• Retrying the multi clamp technique, eventually I gave up and went to the 'push in some smooth metal to keep the tube out of the crack technique'.

  

• Much better - worked real nice.

  

• On one of the brake calipers I swapped the bleed fitting so that both fittings will face towards the floor (duh). A little bit of permatex #2 on the threads.

  

• I checked the calipers to make sure they were installed in the correct direction - apparently some cleveland brakes were misassembled. I presume based on that problem the've now started stamping in this warning.

  

• Installed the 90 deg aero fitting on the break calipers.
