Trimmed openings to front and rear halves to "5/8 inch clearance to undeflated tire". Finished 1" dia holes for access to Standoffs. Had to tap 3/8-24 threads in alum Gear Legs for Standoff bolts since "tight" and beginning to gall. Seems OK now...whew. Almost ready to finish with nutplates on Brackets and for securing front to rear halves. But 1st need to either follow epoxy flox process per Vans instructions, OR simply add 3-5 layers of fiberglass/epoxy to inside to strengthen per other builders ( such as Carl & Rafael tricycle-gear-legs--fairings ).
