I am
fitting the enclosure for the main wheel wells and am having a difficult time
making it fit like it is supposed to according to the manual. This is the great
honkin fiberglass molding that looks like two bucket seats welded together that
is underneath the baggage compartment and that buts up against the 172
bulkhead.. I am beginning to think that my molding is warped but I can’t
tell. My question is whether the forward facing face of the molding is supposed
to be a flat surface (like a bulkhead) or is it supposed to be concave. Mine is
pronouncedly concave and I am wondering if it just took on this shape from the
tension in the molding over left standing for a number of years or whether it
is suppose to be like that. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me. Also
if it is supposed to be flat, I would welcome any ideas on how to flatten it. It
is a very heavy piece of fiberglass – probably 8 bid. Thanks.
