Fitting the nose wheel spat
 Drill two holes in the back of the nose wheel spat to stop the build-up of mud and debris
on the plane
 Fit the aluminum bracket into the nose wheel spat and position it by eye to determine
best fit.
 When happy, drill one hole only and recheck the alignment.
 Now you can drill the remaining holes. The spat fits between the base of the landing leg
and the bracket which supports the tire
 Use blue Loctite 243 on the nuts. Insert the nose wheel and the main wheel axle. Cover
the head of the bolt and the nut with the plastic covers provided for aesthetics.
