yesterday i pulled my old gear off and started installation of the new gear. when the gear is attached to the fuselage by the 3/16 bolts to the belly the top attach point that is to be drilled is not flat against the firewall. when the top of the plate is against the firewall the bottom edge of the plate is 1/16 to 3/32'' off the firewall. i don't remember the old gear was like this. anyone else run into this?
this is not a rotex engine it is a honda [viking] . when the original mounting was done these attach mounts fit best with a standard washer between the nosegear nd the engine mount. it would be a simple matter to move the washer to the aft side of the nosegear, making the nosegear attach point parallel to the firewall. any thoughts?
airplane is still in the build phase.
