How did you all clamp/hold the RV8 gear leg fairing so
it would not slide down the gear leg? The plans leave
it to our imagination...

Sam, a number of different methods. What I did was use the fiberglass
fairing from gear leg to fuselage to hold the metal fairing in place.
Worked for 10 years.

I installed the hinge such that the fairing was snug enough to not move. No other attachments needed.

I would be amazed if you needed to do anything at all. The gear leg
fairings are quite tight on the gear legs once the hinge pins are in,
and they can't slide very far before they would hit the bend at the
bottom of the gear leg. I'm hoping I can get by without worrying
about this.

I've gone without any method of securing the gear leg fairing for the first
125 hours. That fairing can't go far, even if it wanted to. I haven't seen
any evidence of movement.
