<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I flew off of grass and about everything in-between
and never had a problem with damaged wheel pants. And don't worry
about losing the the wheel pants or wheel. IF... they ever come loose the
worse possible thing that happens is the pant will till back. It
would take a LOT of vibration to get the bolt to back out. It works
perfect with the Bolly wheel pants as they have the slot in the pants that match
the gear leg. I have used flat sided wheel pants with good success
also. If in doubt put some thin sand paper on the contact spot and this
will keep the pant from twisting. Yes... with this method the axle
supports the pant real well. Better then suspenders.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV> Wayne I think your method is the best because of the way
it stiffins the wheel pants. Until I see something better it's the way I will
continue to do it. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Wayne Galligan <<A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used that method on all my airplanes
with wheel pants for some time now and have not found any better way to do
it. What I like most about the method is simplicity in changing wheels
or removing the pants it they ever needed repair. I used a
6-32 socket head bolt. You have to have a bolt that is threaded
all the way. Most 6-32 socket head bolts are not threaded all the way and I
had to whip out the die set and thread them. Bob suggest using an #8
size bolt for an axle. If you do use the 6-32 you may have to drill
out the wheel hub an resize it with a bushing. But I never did that
and had no ill effects.</FONT></DIV>
