Nose wheel mounting frame

We received the right size bolts for attaching the Grove gear to the aluminum attach brackets (AN5-21A bolts), so we replaced our temporary bolts with the correct ones.

The firewall brackets for the nose gear were attached to the fuselage, and the nose wheel mounting frame was also attached.  A 1/8 inch hole (for a cotter pin) was drilled through both the short tube pieces that act as stops, and the steel tube that serves as the pin for attaching the gear leg to the firewall brackets (at the lower mounting point).  Some time was spent time fitting the gear leg (part F-3490), but it has not yet been attached permanently.  Hours:2.5
