  Need to get some 4-40 countersunk screws and counter sink the gear doors so the screws sit flush. Maybe I
  can use a piece of fuel tubing between the standoff and the gear door for a shock mount? hmmm?

  Update... Here are the gear doors mounted for the first time. I turned all the little stand-offs down to
  .200 diameter to match the gear door clamps. I also left them all a bit too long for adjustment...

  Here's my idea to attach the gear doors.... I sheened this little 1/4" diameter coupler and threaded it

  Started locating and drilling the lower gear door mounting holes. I cut a plywood inner liner from the
  supplied kit doors. I'm thinking I should glass the door liner to seal everything up nice.

  Bear with me as I work this all out... I counter-sunk the screws that hold the brass bracket so the doors
  lay flush. I had to grind off a little of the strut as well.

  Here is the fiddly little bracket I had to make to support the bottom of the lower gear door. Grrrr!

  So... I got all the gear door parts made now and I'm starting to trim everything up. Pretty happy with
