No Problem !
This is the position of the Mono Wheel Outriggers, the attachment and structure in the wing was set up to take the loads from that.
Only point I will make, Bob must have had an early Mono Kit with the Alloy latch block [ that he has drilled though for the eye bolt] Trigear Kits have a plastic [ spacer ] block, later Mono Kits had a three piece[ tufnel / hardened steel / tufnel ] latch block assembly. You won't drill though it if you have converted from a Mono and left the steel latch block in place !
I suggest Trigear owners do what I do, back up the plastic with an alloy plate to spread the load. I also put a tube guide down to near the fairing to help find the hole.
Check you have three bolts through each bracket to the embedded plates in the wing.
Cheers,
Nev.
