Worked on wheels and brakes, and finally installed the landing gears on to the engine mount.



Spacers for wheel pant mouting plates


I had to remove some material to clear the brake caliper upper pin



Another picture to show how much material need to be removed from the mounting plate






The fit around the caliper is good now


Wheel lock is drilled to the axel, the lock is just hand tightened enough so there is no lateral movement of the wheel


Due to potential high temperature in the engine compartment, nylon lock nut is replated with metal lock nut for the landing gear legs
