Terry, what is the temperature range of the RTV as
compared to silicon material.
The terms have become interchangable. The red silicon has the highest
rating I know of 600F.
I'm not sure what a nose gear socket is.
The first picture in the sequence on my front page. 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.
