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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:24:41 AM PST US From: "Larry Schneider" Subject: Re: Rocket-List: Gear legs into engine mount 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.

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.
