You can now locate the best place for fixing
the mounting lug on the gear door by
tacking it in place in the
closed position and checking that it opens
freely without fouling the strut door. Once
you are happy with
the location of the lug, secure in place with
hysol or similar.
For this example we found that extra
smooth movement between the gear doors
was achieved by
adding a small aluminium plate to the top of
the strut door bent downwards so that the
doors did not foul
each other on opening. You can choose to
do this as well or leave a larger gap between
the 2 doors.
