A slightly easier job is
mounting the main gear door
to the strut. The M3 threads
are in already, and you now
have to adjust the length of the
brass tubes, which are used as
spacers between strut and
gear door.
You can take off wheel and
brakes at that stage.
Mark the holes on the gear
door and drill with 3mm.
Mount the gear doors with the
M3 screws, and allign
everything with the gear well,
when retracted.
When you move the strut now
in and out, you must check if
the outer gear door hits and
looks against the main gear
door. If so, you will have to
readjust the outer gear door
again a very little bit, or move
the main gear door down a
little.
Now you should build a few
frame surfaces into the gear
door, where the main gear
door rests on when retracted.
Make sure, that the wheel
does not hit these frame parts
during the cycle.
After all fits, mount the wheel
with brake again, and take the
gear door off.
Next step is to glue on the
inner door details, made from
vacuum formed styrene.
