I have tried both, locked and un locked. Also, regarding the adapters for the holes, I had a local shop turn mine down just a tiny bit ...

Wheel Pant Cover

We have the plastic thingies that are small on the outside of the hole, but I am looking for something more substantial. Our airport is closing for a few months to resurface so we are moving to a community hanger at a nearby airport GMU. Any products out there? Of course they will be using the large...

Re: Air valve nose wheel accessibility

Awesome guys, I appreciate you reply. So, Diamond, what's so hard about fixing this with a removable door or something? At over 500k we can afford a few more dollars for this to NOT be an issue.
