Removing Landig Gear for floats

[Jones, Michael]

dont think you want to drill the carry throughs to allow removal of wish
bone as you call it, best way would be cut floor open and install doublers
and cover plate with screws, that's how i built mine and works great

Hi all
I am thinking of drilling access holes in the rear carrythrough large enough

to get a wrench on the nut that connects the wishbone part of the gear. The

passenger side would be on top and the pilot side from underneath..
Would this compromise the strength of the carrythroughs? I did not cut them
in half.

If you haven't installed your floor yet why not go with nutplates?

I did access panels in the bottom outer skin.

I like the nutplate idea though. One can get creative with nutplates.
For example rivet the nutplate to a strip of aluminum with countersunk
rivets and then rivet the strip of aluminum to the carrythrough an inch
or three away where access is possible or where the rivet won't
interfere with anything. Or put a twist/bend in the strip of aluminum
and rivet it to the top or bottom of the carrythrough. I would think
that a nutplate is just as good as a regular nut in a case like this
where the bolt is in double shear and not tension.
