Aug 23, 2017 5 Epoxied the lighting fair (left) Category: Lighting
Been messing around with the left wing lighting fairing for the last week or so and after positioning it and drilling all the usual holes, I mixed up some epoxy and flox and strengthened the attach points per the instructions etc.

Removed the fairing and sanded the new epoxy smooth in the appropriate spots. Drilled out the access hole, drilled the two middle holes where it attaches to the wing closeout rib.

The brackets supplied are not as those in the instructions and they're just thing enough that when screwed onto the fairing, the light itself will not engage in the three posts. So I removed the bracket and added a thin washer under the bracket at the three attach holesand it worked fine.

I removed the light, added molex connectors to the wires from the wing root, fabricated ground wires and clecoed the fairing in place, then added the wide strip of electrical tape on the closeout and a wing pieces on the fairing itself.

I'm waiting for an order of ProSeal.
