One hour was enough to finish the installation of the front gear leg. Inserting the leg and drilling for the bolt was a non event (no problems as with the main gear legs).



With the engine mount installed on the firewall, it's impossible to insert the gear leg bolt. The solution consist in drilling a hole in the firewall. I use a long drill bit to mark the spot to be drilled.



To make a 1" hole, I use a Greenlee punch, which allows to do the job in less than one minute.



The view from the engine side.



And the cabine side with the bolt inserted.



And the surprise is for the end. The plug given by Vans is for a 3/4" hole and the plan said to make it 1". Looking through all the plans, I find on another view that tha hole should have been 3/4. It's too late now, so I have to find a 1" plug.
