To all you grove gear folks,
I am getting ready to drill my G. gear and would like some input.
On the outbd bracket, both sides, it seems that about a half inch of skin
must be removed in order for them to fit. Is this what everyone found?
Also the outbd wear plate dose not lie completely flat; that is it has a
very small rocking motion side to side which could be stopped with the
addition of a shim. Has any one seen that?
I am going to drill this with the fuse in the upright position. Those of you
that have done it this way, how did you clamp the gear in place while
drilling?
Any other advice, input or whatever is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed Clegg

Hi Ed,
I had my fuselage upside down - it was hard enough in that
position. I know others have done it right side up, so it
can be done. You just need to get used to hot metal chips
falling down your neck!
There is some skin to be removed so the outboard bracket
can fit, and it does rock a bit until it is fully installed.
You might want to use a shim to keep it steady, but it is
not needed when you finally bolt on the gear.
Sorry I don't have any pictures of this on my website.

1) Yes I had to trim the area around the gear....it also sits higher than
the OEM parts.
2) No rocking motion at all.
3) I drilled mine with the fuselage on saw horses and upside down.

Ed,
We also drilled ours upside down. Drilling it right side up seems ambitious.
Can you do it upside down? It's been awhile but it seems like we did a little
trimming but we didn't end up shimming it. We also aligned it by clamping
lasar levels to the gear on the wheel attachment plane since this kind of gear
is
different to measure than the others. I can tell you more about that if you
like.
