This weekend, I continued with the main gear. I notched out the second bottom gear support rubber and drilled and trimmed the main gear support.
Tom used the grinder to grind out the clearance for the brakes. When I was marking the area to remove, I didn't realize that the gear got rotated when I was sanding out the bolt notches and I marked the wrong side. Oops - the front side of my gear will also have notches now.
We got the main gear and wheels loosely installed. I was missing 4 bolts and 8 nuts from the wheel kit so I couldn't fully put the wheels on, but hopefully next weekend.
