I laid up two 8 oz. pieces of fabric on the inside and a 5 oz. piece on the outside.
After thinking about it later, I realized that with vibration, the two metals rubbing together will start to cut into each other.
The solution...

When I was fitting the left
wheel pant, I cut too much away and made a square corner. You can see
the square corner under the fiberglass. This was a small project today
to fill in this corner so I can make it round. I laid up two 8 oz. pieces of fabric on the inside and a 5 oz. piece on the outside. |

Here the fiberglass is dry and I rough cut the corner. With a little filler, you'll never know! |

Here's another little
project I've been wanting to do for a while. This is the tube that goes
to the overflow water bottle. As you can see, I mounted it straight
through the aluminum firewall piece. After thinking about it later, I realized that with vibration, the two metals rubbing together will start to cut into each other. The solution... |

The rest of the day was spent filling and sanding the left aft wheel pant. While a coat of putty was drying, I cut out the wing strut fairings. Next I will cut out the opening for the strut. |
