This strap is connected to the lift strut attach point.
You can see the brackets through the wheel pants. Each one will have one or maybe two screws holding it to the bracket.

I found a way to jack the
airplane up to take the wheels off... This strap is connected to the lift strut attach point. |

2 x 4's between the rafters...crank it up! I have no idea how I will jack the plane up once the wings are on though. |

These are the wheel pant mounting brackets I made out of .063 aluminum. |

First step in fitting the wheel pants was to level the plane. |

|
The tail is up against the ceiling. Not exactly level but enough to get the wheel pants mounted correctly. |

Wheel pants are on...now I just need to level them and drill the holes. |

Here is a bolt holding the outside to the axle. |
| The next step is to final trim the wheel pants now that they are both mounted. Once they are trimmed, I can start filling and sanding them and getting them ready for primer and paint. | |
