Hey Guys,
I've read about complaints of tow jockies messing up the completed nose wheel pants, so now that we've finished the fly off and installed the pants, I asked the hangar guys and they agreed that getting their bars in the cut outs could be done carefully, but eventually would mess up the paint.
So here are pics of what I did. Simply replaced the socket head bolts with 2.5 inch ones with a spacer and washer so that the stud is exterior to the fiberglass/paint with a washer flush so that the tow bar seats without going into the shell. It's really not noticeable and aerodynamic clutter is minimal. The longer bolts cost $1.00, made the spacers. The hangar guys love it -- thought I'd see what y'all thought.
Later, - Lew
