I’ve been working on PR wheel pants for my -4 and have a couple questions.
Is there a tolerance for the alignment? Even with following the instructions for building up the bracket attach area both pants fought me when aligning. I got one to be straight but the other is toed in about 1/8”. My plan at this point was to fly it and see if it causes a noticeable yaw. From others with experience, what should I expect?
I understand the tire gap recommended can range from 1/2” to 3/4” for most people. With 5.00x5 tires and weight on wheels my current gap is not quite consistent but it’s about 1/2” at minimum. Should I open this up any further or is it probably okay? Along the split I’m running up against the lower nutplate so I can only trim so much more without redoing that. On a side note, is there a good way to trim these neatly? Using the dremel it’s a bit tricky to get curved cuts, such as along the back and front of the tire.
