| Subject: | Gear legs into engine mount |
<I've sent this email to John Harmon via his website, but there seems to
be bugs with his online email utility>
I am attempting to insert my gear legs into the engine mount sockets.
I've cleaned out any primer in the socket and polished the socket with
fine sandpaper to ease the fit, but I cannot get the gear leg all the
way through the bottom of the socket. Visual inspection shows the
inside of the socket somewhat rough (not polished).
What is the best technique here to make the legs fit? Both are the
same-- they slide in for a couple of inches and then get jammed.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Vern Little

When ever I've had problem with the HR or RV fit I used a brake cylinder
hone to polish the sockets some. It doesn't take much, be careful.

Thanks Larry, that's what I've been contemplating. I'm glad someone else
has slain this dragon.

Update: Larry's technique worked fine, and the gear legs are now
mounted. A really tight fit, but that's OK. I probably will have to
drill them as a unit, because getting them off could be difficult.

Great, just be sure that there is plenty of lube on them. Larry
