QUESTION:

In order to install the wire support arms going diagonally from fuse rear to the stab I had to cut the nylon tailwheel support to make it flat so that the wire could be installed into the blindnut glued into the fuse rear (see picture 1 and 2)

Question is, did I weaken the tailwheel support significantly enough to cause a problem? I want to use the Sullivan tailwheel assembly but I also want the wire support arms going to the stab and cutting the tailwheel mount was the only way I saw could be done.

ALSO: I need to align a hole in the tailwheel support assembly to be aligned with the blindnut in the fuse. But depending on the predrilled hole I use in the assembly it either causes the tailwheel axis to be aligned either at the edge of the fuse rear (picture A) OR aft of the fuse rear (picture B). Which alignment is best for my SSE, pic A or Pic B? The instructions on the tailwheel assembly package says to align the axis of the tailwheel pivot close to the axis of the rudder hinges. In simple terms aligned dead-center at the gap between rudder and fin. Because I can not do dead-center because of the predrilled holes of the tailwheel assembly which alignment described above is next-best-thing?

Thank you!!!
