Nose wheel pant
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 10:32 amHas anyone else found that the nose wheel pant does not fit all the way down over the nose wheel fork (rounded wheel pant top and squared off nose wheel fork) and if so how did they deal with it.

Kerry tells me the pant should just be "fitted" to the nose strut/fork and the plan dimensions will leave you with axle holes in the pant that are in the wrong place.
