How do you drill the lift strut tangs from 5/16 to 7/16 without messing them up?

- QuestionThe text manual on page 85 details installing the brake system. In item 1, it says the fuse should be on the main gear. It must be assumed that the bolts holding the gear on are already installed. In item 9, it says to press the brake line into the groove in the aft side of the gear leg. Question------do I remove the aft bolt holding the gear in place, install the brake line in the groove then replace the bolt, or does the brake line go to the outside of the bolt??? The detail for the belly fairing (figure 08-01) does not show any clearance or hole to accommodate the brake line if it is not in the gear leg groove, only an opening to allow the gear leg itself. Guidance please.
- DiscussionManual says to leave boot Cowl off till after painting! What is the purpose of this? Maybe for installing windscreen? Can you not just install everything and just mask the windscreen or is there something else you need the Cowl off for? Steve
Hi Darrell,
We have been using 12" long drill bits for this, we use a 3/8" first and follow with the 7/16". This gives adequate clearance with the fuselage. I've attached a couple of pictures. Let me know if this helps.
Thanks Eddie,
I do have those in my bag of goodys.
I’ll need to pick up a slimmer profile drill to run them.
Cheers,
Darrell
Our standard DeWalt and Ryobi drills work well with plenty of clearance.
