Default RE: Large Skymaster Hawk build

I have the BVM large cylinders for the gear door modification. For thos tha thave doen this conversion, can you answer a question or two?

Does anyone know if the screw that goes into the door, through the ball link, goes into anything other than fiberglass/filler? I think there may be a part of an aluminum hinge in there that the threads capture?

I reworked the attachment point for the cyliders so they are not attached to the fuel tank - had to not use the bvm mount but it allows the cylinderes to be attached to the intakes and aft fuse bulkead and not hit the tank. Anyway, I have clearance of the tire by about maybe 3/8" full open with good solid closing. Is that enough?

The doors dont open to 90 degrees. I think I have enough clearance, just hoping air flow wouldnt take away much clearance.

Thanks
Dave
