Install the spacer by taping it to the lop of the tire. Center the U-10S7B-L Wheel Fairing Rear over the tire and spacer. Trim U-10S7B-L Wheel Fairing Rear. Mark the area of interterence with the U-1001-L Main Gear leg, remove the fairing, locally trim a small amount of the fairing, reposition the fairing over the wheel, mark and trim as required to achieve the correct final position. Trim until a 1/8- 1/4 in. gap exists between the gear leg and the wheel fairing rear. The wheel fairing rear is positioned correctly in the fore/aft direction when the center of the U-10048 Nut Extension lines up with the aft edge of the molded step. Block up the aft end of the wheel fairing rear to position the center of the aft edge of the fairing roughly 9 5/16" off the floor. If necessary, adjusVbend the U-101O-L Main Wheel Fairing Bracket flanges during the next few steps to achieve a reasonably good fit with the wheel fairing as the fairing is aligned to the wheel. This may even require removing the wheel and bracket several times. The fit need not be perfect as thickened epoxy will take up some of the space between the bracket and fairing.

Align the U-10S7B-L Wheel Fairing Rear in rotation to the lire by using the lire tread as an alignment guide. In this case the vertical axis of the fairing is intended to be parallel with the vertical axis of the wheel and tire tread ... not perpendicular to the floor.

Use blocks and/or shims to hold the fairing in place.

Slide the U-1OS7A-L Wheel Fairing Front onto the U-1057B-L Wheel Fairing Rear. Trim the wheel fairing front where it interferes with the U-1001-L Main Gear Leg and brake line unlillhe wheel fairing front can be decoed to the wheel fairing rear. Check that the fairing is parallel to the floor and Shim as needed to make the front and rear dimensions the same. Mark wheel fairing front and rear around the wheel opening to yield clearance called for. Remove the wheel fairing front. Trim around wheel opening.
