SCM,

I agree with Bill, build the gear fairings in 3 or 4 parts for either Sierra or Century. An inner Main Strut fairing with a streamlined cross section fixed to the upper main strut (lower strut floats inside fairing), the large triangular fairing that fits over the main strut fairing and finally the wheel pant fairing that is able to move over the main strut fairing with the action of the spring loaded lower strut. Here a few pictures to help visualize from YMF Classic NC 14081.

P1 Inner side of wheel pants and gear fairings, note cut out for inner strut, stainless wear strips, tow point and slit in wheel pant to gear fairing.

P2 Different angle of inner side showing clearance gap on pant fairing and tow point.

P3 Top outer view of wheel pant to gear fairing, again note gap around strut fairing and wear strips.
John, what would we do without you!

Thanks again
