Installation Instructions:
Step 1:
Remove existing tie down eye bolt and tail cone.
Step 2:
Temporarily mount Tail Skid with provided bolt and washer. Mark the top of the skid where the aft edge of the skin is and cut off as shown with the red line in the photo below.
Step 3:
Remove the tail skid. Install the tail cone. Temporarily reinstall tail skid and mark the forward edge of the tail cone on the tail skid. The tail skid must be removed and the small sliver of material should be cut or filed off to allow enough space for the tail cone to be mounted without any pressure on it.
Step 4:
Mark on the tail skid where the forward rivet head is on the center stringer. Using a countersink, countersink the tail skid to clear the rivet head.
