During a condition inspection, I removed the belly panel to look around and
lube the gear leg bracket that attaches to the A rib. Noticed a hairline crack
along a weld in one of the upper attach brackets on the pilot side gear leg.
Photo available upon request.
Part time, 2200 hrs.

Mike, I too found a similar condition a few years back. Your tri gear has a
like bracket to the taildragger main gear. I found a crack in the bend of my
right gear bracket. At Sun n fun the next year, I showed the bracket to a
Glasair rep and we determined the cause to be from using a dull chrome (my
idea) instead of prime and paint. It was thought that the process changed
the steel and weakened it. Yours is the only other case I have heard of.
