Inner gear door clearance


Recommended Posts

Those are the old modworks gear doors. Lasar sells them.  The older ones are real woven Fiberglass and epoxy while the new ones are chopped strand mat and polyester resin. Very flexible. I made molds of them and made some in carbon fiber. 

A small gap at the rear is no consequence but the forward edge of the door must be tight.

I had the square standoffs on one side and the U-shaped style on the other side. The U-shaped bracket wont allow the door to bolt up flush, and when you do bolt it up, the rear of the door is 1/2" off the wing, with no washers between it and the gear door.  The square style are about 1/2" square, while the U-shaped thing goes 3/4" away from the bolt hole. Its too far. I had to source some used square style gear door standoffs.
