Landing gear brackets


Today I floxed the landing gear extrusions to the 15 ply pads on the fuselage sides.

After letting the flox set for a few hours I drilled out the 1/4" holes through the sides for the attachment bolts.

Unfortunately two of the 1/4" holes I drilled through the forward extrusion were two close to the perpendicular side of the extrusion. This left too little clearance for the washers as you can see in the following photo.


One solution I tried was to grind off a portion of each washer. Perhaps there is a better solution. Any suggestions are welcome.
