usually they just bolt in between the wheel hub and the landing gear ....then it covers the wheel....
make sense?

If you mean the doors that go over the wire landing gear when the gear is up,
hot glue from a hot glue gun. It stays kinda flexable, holds good, and resists
vibration. Use the regular gear straps to mount the gear....then hit it with the
hot glue to really hold it in place, and keep it from turning. [sm=thumbup.gif]

Actually, I believe that Topwing is more accurate than we in the US are. Pants cover legs, not shoes. Spats cover shoe (wheel) tops, therefore "Spats".
