6. Mark a location onto the wheel pant for two screws
on each side. These marks will be the drilling location so
make these marks over the hardwood blocks that the nylon
landing gear straps are screwed into. Once you are satisfied
with the location, drill a 1/16" hole through the mark and into
the wing. Screw the pant in place with four #2 x 1/2" [13mm]
machine screws and four #2 washers.
