The area around the nose gear needs to be sealed from the cabin. However, access is required to install and maintain the nose gear. |
 |
This shows the removable panel and gasket to access the nose gear mounting bolts. |
 |
Here is the actual part. The nose gear can be seen in the background along with the original fiberglass surround. This will be removed for the new molded part. |
 |
The CNC aluminum panel is being fitted to the molded closeout. The mold is behind the part. |
 |
The closeout is fiberglassed into the plane. Removable peel ply fabric is used on top of the layup. This will be removed after it is cured. This leaves a nice surface which will not need to be sanded. |
 |
The closeout is shown with the peel ply removed. |
