Or to put it another way, what's the diameter of the RV6 gear leg above the wheel? I plan to make my own jack point but not sure what size clamp to buy. Thanks Shirley Harding RV6 flying ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:14:19 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: RV6 gear leg jack point From: Doug Gray Shirley, The diameter of the lower gear leg on my RV-6 is 7/8", I only know this because I manufactured my own gear leg fairings. As far as clamps go, you need an exhaust pipe clamp. The smallest clamp that seems to be commonly available is 1 1/8" but this works just fine. It is sturdy enough and the nuts can be nipped down pretty hard and gives a secure jack point. For me this is not a permanent fixture, I fit & remove the clamp when required.
