This past weekend I set the 0-degree toe for my main wheels, clamping firmly with 4 C-clamps on each wheel bracket. That exercise only took 4 hours. Removed the gear legs and matched drilled through the original wheel brackets as Larry had advised; used a drill press for that operation. Yesterday I applied 2 BID fiberglass per the Diehl instructions. (I suppose Dan Diehl may want to distance himself somewhat from my latest gear leg creation.) Used several plastic soda straws for conduits for the hydraulic brake lines. Today put on some micro anticipating finishing and painting. Got the back-ordered brake bleeder valves from ACS; will replace the scuffed bleeders while waiting for the epoxy to cure. Yes, the brake slave cylinders will bleed more easily if the bleeder valve is at the low point, but being down low will subject them to more runway pavement abuse.
