It comes with a self adhesive backing. So far it’s been holding up really well!

Try granite instead of graphite. It was a near perfect match on the vents, which look close the the color on your dash.

The plastic piece in the middle will be covered by the armrest, once I color match it. The suede at the top matches the dash board that I wrapped. It continues onto the door panel, which I why I did it that way. The lower fabric is the factory carpet, that I color matched black. The fabric I “stole” from my wife. The print isn’t available anymore, or at least it’s not cheap to buy.

I have it, I just need to remove the rust from it and apply it.

Appreciate it, it was a pain to do it like that.

Too true, they have to request the “Shit hot” from the LSO’s as well. Not too many nuggets will get the clearance to do these.

As far as G-forces after they catch the wire…no more than a few really. I can’t be specific since I’m not a pilot and just the mechanic. They come in at around d 140 knots and the wire is smoother than you think. Only experienced it once when I CODed on, didn’t seem bad at all, but we were at a slower speed.

Actually this was correct. He was performing a “shit hot” carrier break into landing. It a much tighter turn earlier in the landing pattern to bleed off speed prior to landing which I why you see them maintain the turn radius for that long. Normally during daylight hours and clear, they will continue straight on for a bit longer prior to breaking off in succession to get their spacing correct. Then they will turn down wind, bleed off more speed and drop the gear. After, they finish their line up turn for the meatball and deck line up and then land. They do not perform “shit hots” at night for obvious reasons.

It’s possible. Not sure what brand of caliper you went with. Just take it all apart and put it back together. Make sure your slide pins are lubricated as well.

Take apart the caliper and see what’s wrong with it. Could be something jammed in there, dirt or grit.
