4 hrs. on the nose wheel and gear channel cover.

After taking some measurements I found that there wasn't much difference between the inner diameter of the bushing that didn't fit and the ones that did, so I decided to gently ream out the inside with sandpaper...  Started this way, but it quickly became clear that it would take an entire day doing it this way...

... So I switched to a more mechanized approach.  Still took about 45 minutes of sanding to get it wide enough.

... But, it finally was wide enough for it to slip on (still tight though).

And the front tire is attached!

Taking a break from the nose wheel I figured it would be a good time to get the gear channel cover done.  Lots of rivets..
