Started bolting the right gear weldment - 3 hours

 Checking the final fitting of the right weldment, its looking really good for the interfering rivet. 

I do notice that I have a very slight gap where the forward most flange sits against the side of the fuselage. Its very small, and it way less then the 1/16" maximum allowed by the instructions. I removed the gear and tried my best to tweek the fit to close up the gap. I did make a template for the flange, so if needed I can make a shim if needed in the future. 

As I have the bolt recipe figured out, that part of the installation went really well.
