RE: Mounting New Wheel Pants
I like to put a peice of 1/8" ply inside the pant and attach to the gear with 2 4-40 screws and blind nuts just above the axle. Make sure to sand the inside of the pant where the wood gets glued with some 80 grit first and use a good guality epoxy. I will usually put a small dot of Shoo Goo between the pant and gear as well.
