Default RE: RE: Gunny Struts

Ok guys, need some help/ advice. I finally got my rear gears mounted and then the trouble began with the nose gear! How in the word do you reach up there? if you guys cut an access panel, how do you cut the FG with a thin gap only? The other thing is, how much of a brace do you put up there for a fixed gear? And finally... the cussing really got bad when I was making the nose gear. I used 5/32's wire and tried to wrap it with wire first then get the solder to stick.... no luck! Then I tried to scuff up the piano wire and solder it.... well that kind of worked, but it looks crappy. Is there a wheel holder out there like two wheel axlestogether and a whole down the middle for the gear shaft? Getting up in there though to mount the wall seems very hard to get to though!!!!

Frustrated C130 nut!!
