I mixed up some epoxy/flox and glued the lower intersection fairings to the wheel pants.
After the epoxy cured, I trimmed the intersection fairings along the split line so I could fit the two halves together. You can see that there are some gaps to fill.
The right side is much worse. I’m going to have to build up the flanges since there’s such a large gap.
The wheel pants attach to the gear in three spots; the outer bracket shown here and an inner bracket that has forward and aft attach points. Because the wheel pants are curved, the bracket flanges don’t conform nicely to the inside of the pant. To fix this, I mixed up some epoxy/flox and applied some before clecoing the pant in place. This will create a nice flat mounting pad for the bracket. This bracket will be riveted to the pant and the others will get nut plates so the pant can be attached with screws.
I used some of the extra epoxy/flox to build up the upper side of the forward half of the lower intersection fairing. I will need to sand away the other side of the fairing to align the front and back halves.
