Posted for Jeff Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
You can eleminate the micro mess by shimming the gearbox with stock aluminum
(countersink the fasteners) so that the entire gearbox is level and has no
gaps. I saw this at the factory and did it on mine. When you are ready to put
the prepreg panel in place just use a little RTV around the edge. I will
attach a photo.

who are concerned about the weight all of these aluminum bars and fasteners
will add to your project, you might consider filling in those gaps with
some 1-core-1 1/8"-thick prepreg that could be permanently bonded to the
top of the gear box with some outdated Hysol. Try contacting Bill Maddox
to see if he'll sell you some of the prepreg, as he purchased a full sheet
and may have enough left to help at least some of you with locating the
small amount of material it would take to do this particular job. Try him
