Using clecos I assembled the brackets to the pant and mounted it to the plane to see how it looked. [[Image:wheel_pant009.jpg|right|thumbnail|Test fit, Im happy.]]As it turned out I used the top two holes and glassed in the bottom two holes. Then I mounted both brackets using clecos and backdrilled the remaining holes in my brackets. I countersunk the rivets on outside of the wheel pant for AN426 rivets and used AN470 for the inside of the pant since that area would be covered by the brake cover.</div></td></tr>
