Don't know if ya'all recall me saying something before. So, here I am ag'in. The trim arms, to begin with, need to have .143 inch holes in them instead of the .125 holes. All of the early Grummans (Pre-2004) have the larger holes. Not a big deal, really. Except that the material is really hard and it chews up drill bits. Second, the angles are not quite the same as the early ones. This puts the arm on a different plane (geometric plane) than the original ones. Plus, the portion with the rivet holes is a bit too long and it hits the pivot tab. The tab needs to be trimmed down to keep the arm from hitting it. Pics included. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:06:06 PM PST US From: Gary Vogt Subject: TeamGrumman-List: brake lines Garner, first, let me say thanks for sending the brake lines. It's nice to have them pre-bent. One thing I'd like you to do, since you are in charge of the PMA stuff, is to install one (or both) of the brake lines yourself. Or, at the very least, watch a mechanic install a set. I think you will notice that the long end is about an inch too short and the end going to the caliper is 1/4 inch too long (it causes the lines to sit higher than the gear leg). Anyway, thanks for your time.
