Main gear leg mounting part 3.

Got one main gear leg mounted last night.  Not easy to reach in there and get all the parts to align.  The outboard clamp and the leg must go in and up together and the clamp wants to bind up on the long bolts.  The inboard stack up of shims and the clamp block are a challenge to get all in the right place at the same time to be able to insert the bolts.  

There is a correct orientation for this spacer block.  The radiused edge goes down and the chamfered edge goes up.
This block must go up evenly.  Be careful not to get it into a bind.  Hard to believe that this is all that keeps the gear leg from folding up.  The red stuff is grease I put on all the bare steel surfaces to prevent rust.




One down one to go!
