Here's the support structure fer the wheel pant...




The structure is held in place with the axle nuts. I'm thinking about making the skin will be one piece and wrapping from the front to back. To check/inflate the tire will take a process to lift Dark Aero by installing the trailer jack, lift Dark Aero, rotate the tire so the stem is at the 6 o'clock position, open the access flap, measure/inflate tire, close the access flap (taped in place), lower Dark Aero, and remove the jack.

I might still install upper support plates fer the rear section to give the trailing tail some extra support.

The felt strips I installed around the axle will help keep more of the bearing grease in place so I won't have to grease the bearings as much.
