Engine mount / front wheel

With the help of N I was able to get the engine mount placed. We also worked on putting together the front tire.  It is a little questionable what to do with the washers that the instructions say to remove when putting the tire together. In reading some say to just leave them off.  I will research that a little more.

We installed the nose gear leg. and fork.  I need to finalize torque of the fork, so that will have to wait until next time as we were running out of time today.  Also there is a question on when the bolts at the top of the nose leg are installed.  I couldn't see with a quick run through of the plans.  I will need to research that also. Maybe they get installed with the engine.  I will see what I find out.   I also need to see if I need to balance the wheels or not.  Lot of things to research.

Time: 2.25 hrs.
