Inserted the bolts in the landing gear, then I primed the gear. Widened the bolt holes with a rotating sanding wheel, that coincidentally fitted 100%, and inserted the bolts from the freezer. Should be a very tight fit. Going with gray PU on that one also. Riveted/bolted on the main brake cylinder. Also bolted and riveted on the main gear angle spar thing.

Main gear
Speculated a lot how to drill the main gear to get it straight and also get the holes perpendicular. Ended up using the fwd main gear support angle to steer three holes that I hand drilled 4-5 mm into the main legs, but upside down. Then I put it upside down under the fuselage and pre-drilled (marked) the rest of the holes. Then I took it in the drill press, and got perfectly perpendicular pilot holes. When I test-mounted, it fitted perfectly. Have to up-drill the holes for the AN5 bolts.
