There's a tube sticking straight up and through the firewall at an oblique angle. The tube is a socket to accept the nose gear. Remove a bolt at the top and the gear slides right out. If you'll notice, it passes right above a lateral stiffener bead. It's a tight fit, but the fiberglass in RTV should give me an airtight seal . I figure I can put a layer of packing tape on the socket and just lay the composite up against for a perfect fit. -- http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/ "Ignorance is mankinds normal state, alleviated by information and experience."
