Bristol" Ken, I have finished my undercarriage some time ago, only difference; I have an electronic sequensing and hydraulic operated downlock. I have quite a few pictures if it will help.Let me know if I can be of any assistance. As soon as possible as I am leaving for the states on saturday. You can also contact me in Florida on Phone 386 758 2028, and get my E mail adress when I get there. I probably made some of the mistakes you like to avoid !

If you are going with the conventional set up, I can be of some help. To begin with, you will need to make an access hole in the upper skin, centered over the aft end of the trunion and the rod end, for later adjustment of the rod end bearing and for lubrication of the trunion. I made mine 4" sq, which is a little tight. Kem M. made his a 6" circle, which is better. Secondly, the finger on the lock block to prevent the trunion from being blocked.(see article in Mustang Express) you might make it just a bit longer. 3/4-7/8". 5/8 worked fine on mine, but was just a bit short on KenMs unit. There are lots of other important detailswe can discuss as you come to them.

While Bothe's system looked simple, I don't have a good knowledge about elctronics for later repair and mods. COuldd you send me a pix of the access hole. I have article onlock block and will definitely do.

I'll get you some pics of the service access hole, I want to send you pics of KenM's, because its better than mine. It will take a couple of days, but I'll get them to you. Another VERY IMPORTANT detail is the release of the inner door latch, which initiates the whole mechanism. Most have had trouble adjusting the bowden cables so that both sides released at once. If one released early, it prevented the release of the other side. yet the nature of Bowden cables is that they move . I solved this problem by interposing a short, stiff spring that allowed the lever to continue travel to the unreleased side, after the first side released. This required a simple return spring to re cock the latch. This GREATLY increases the reliability of the system.
