Hi there,
Bought the mod71 and installed it last July. Fitted perfectly to the
gear
frame, so either the springs are not the right ones or your frame is
wrong=85

Objet : Europa-List: Mod 71 - Nose gear leg bungee, replacement with
springs
I=92ve encountered another one of those =93minor=94 problems I have come
to accept
as normal with the factory=92s step child, the Tri-Gear.
The diameter of the Landing Gear Frame is 1.55 inch (39.4 mm) and the
opening in the spring that must hook onto it is 1.35 inch (34.3 mm).
This
seems to allow for either of two solutions, neither one particularly
elegant. 1) use brute force to deform the hook in the spring, 2) cut
off
some of the end of the hook.
Comments and suggestions from those who have perhaps already dealt with
this, or anyone else for that matter, would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
