The attachment points on one of my main gear fairings are broken (pics below), which causes the fairing to settle slightly out of alignment and rub against my strut fairing on landings. Does anyone have any suggestions for how these can be repaired? I'm going to try some fiberglass repair shops in the area, but it seems like these need to be reinforced (particularly the center hole), in addition to patching the fiberglass where it's broken. For the center hole, I was thinking about epoxying a washer with the right diameter center hole in place as reinforcement, and then having them patch the outside. Thoughts?
