Next I
drilled the holes for the bushing that the landing gear attach bolts pass
through. After using a step drill to drill the holes (while the fitting
was attached to the bending block again) I bent the flying wire tab to
the correct angle. Then I trimmed the ends of the fitting to the proper
lengths and marked the location of the holes for the flying wires. |
After
the holes were drilled in the ears I cut a length of tubing for the bushing,
leaving it long so it can be trimmed to the correct length after welding.
I used a single piece of tubing so I can insure the bushings line up after
welding. |
