Installing the wheel fairings on my 7A I found that the left side wheel fairing sits about 3/4 inch farther forward on the gear compared to the right side. Both were originally fitted with the U-808 bracket (the one that bolts to the aluminum axle nut) aligned to the aft half of the wheel fairing per drawing C2. But on the right side I had to carve out about a 1-inch semicircle from the forward half of the fairing where it mates to the aft half to allow clearance for the brake line. That was not necessary on the left side.
I understand that a certain amount of tolerance stack-up can be expected, especially with fiberglass components, but this seems a little excessive. Maybe it's a non-issue but I would like to understand the cause. Could there be a problem with the gear legs?
Thanks
