+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I finished mine using a piece of foam (approx 1") on lead and trail edge. I hogged out a channel on the lead edge before attaching for the brake line. I rounded the lead edge foam and tapered the trail edge and wrapped the entire thing with a layer of glass. Not a great photo but if you zoom in a bit you can see the gear. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/100_5553.JPG This photo shows the brake line running through the landing light area and then down the lead edge of the leg. http://myplace.frontier.com/~flesner/02092583.jpg If I ever need to get to the gear leg attach bracket I can cut out the foam on the back side of this opening. I located the light in that area for that purpose but a better spot for the light is outside the prop arc unless the back side of the prop is painted black. If it's not black you see a giant prop reflection at night and when else do you need the light, unless of course you have flashing landing lights for daylight recognition. That's one of those "don't ask me how I know" deals. Larry Flesner
