| I continued with the FAB, rattle can sprayed the nutplate locations, riveted and piloted the top plate for the AD3 rivets. I tried to adjust the heights by measure and drilled the 4 locations on the fibreglass and try an initial fit. | 
|
| It looks like the position is a) too 'low' - ie the filter won't quite fit, b) a bigger problem, I don't think the front gear leg will go in. | 
|
| I re-did the heights by using a better method (which I should have done first time). I added a single washer under each of the bolts / top plate, compressed and drilled the top plate / fibreglass - then just removed the washers which meant everything pulled down tightly. | 
|
| The result was good and the front even lines up! The gear leg problem is going to need more thought, probably a new 0.063 sheet and re-drill. |
