Due to my grass runway which is usually wet in the morning and throws crap all over my wings, I would like to see some picts to show how they mounted wheel pants.

not sure on an airbike, but there are plenty of pictures on the mini-max here somewhere. The axle is used on the outboard, and a piano hinge or something similar is used inboard.

I will try and get some pictures next time I'm at the hangar. There is an aluminum bar botted to the brake baking plate. Two bolts through it secure the inside part of the wheel pant. There is a large nut that threads on the end of the axle with a bolt through it that centers the outboard half of the wheel pant. I'll try and have pictures tomorrow.

The images are too large for the 1MB limit. Please give me an email address and I will send them. Please remember to align the fairing axis with the aircraft, not parallel to the ground.
