Port side peel ply removed. Oh notice the caps in the sockets. What I did was take a block of foam and push it down in the socket, then took it back out and covered it with car wax. Once all the ribs are in I'll see how it worked.

The gap from the bottom of the socket and the belly is as you see. The only way to get it all the way down was to lower the belly to 15" which was not considered an option. Belly hight is 16.0" with the axle width at 82.50" and axle cent

I took cardboard and bent it around the socket and overlapped per the manual. Then took this cardboard and made a new template for cutouts. This made the layups go really quick.
