Misc. left wheel work, started on right wheel pant: 6 hours

This work was done over several days:
  • Sanded left wheel pant fiberglass reinforcements
  • Drilled left wheel pant mounting holes to final size and installed nut plates on wheel pant bracket
  • Installed all left disk brake components and torqued all bolts and brake line fitting. I also installed the cotter pin in the axle nut.
  • Riveted outboard bracket to left wheel pant. I also put some CA glue on the rivets to help lock them in.
  • Started sanding and trimming on right wheel pant
  • Followed the same steps as the left and got the aft wheel pant drilled to the outboard bracket
