Many hours over several days went into all this and I’ll save you the drama. These next logs are out of order too time wise. I was doing a few things simultaneously.

Pic one shows that I’ve got the hinges on which are countersunk screws and locknuts. The idea is to have everything removable in case I mess up.

You can also see I’ve floxed on some door stops that come to rest on the gear leg propping plate, as you can see in pic 2. I wanted these at the outer edges for stability and being more of the Garolite G10 I can just sand them down to make the final fit perfect. As it is they close nicely.

Pic 3 is the wheel up so you can see the fit. I still have plenty to do in the wheel well but we do have working doors now.

Just three more pics here as I have a nice working set of gear doors to show off. They work very well and I’m quite pleased so far.

The spring is from Aircraft Spruce and you get them in 30″ lengths Part #01-37500 Tension spring OK? Just in case you need one. They are for the manual trim on a Long-EZ but perfect for this job too.
