blackbetty Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 started a little bit of rigging, just before i found out my exhaust piupes er too long and interfere with the struts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 i managed to shorten the pipes, but it was ugly. you wouldnt believe what a little measuring in the firstplace would save on grief and time prop and spinner is test fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 those struts look mighty thin to me, how will i fit and align these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 first i redrilled the mounting points for the location pegs of the struts with a 1mm drill, then i built a jig to align the thing properly. i think it will also help with rigging more to come, only a couple of days left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
