Nov 28, 2023 3.7 R wheel pant cutting & fitting to gear Category: Wheel Pants
Began the process of fitting the right wheel pant to the gear:

1. Studied the factory procedures for fitting the pants.
2. Duct-taped 1" spacer blocks to the tops of the tires.
3. Placed the aft section in place behind the wheel, visually aligned the centerline with the tire tread, and marked where the pant needed to be notched for the gear leg.
4. Cut out the notch for the gear leg and the bottom opening for the tire, then iteratively continued to trim these three locations about a dozen times until the pant fit in place on the attach fittings. (It still seems quite tight, so I might have to do some further trimming in some way...)
4. Began fitting the forward half of the pant. Marked it for trimming at the bottom to accommodate the tire.
