Hi all

Can anybody provide a dimension from the Tri-Gear nose wheel leg please.

I would like to know the measurement from where the nose gear leg bushes mount
to the landing gear frame, rearwards to the large cross tube on the gear leg 
that
the bump stop tube and the Mod 71 springs are mounted on.

I am waiting for my Tri-Gear conversion kit from the Europa factory but would 
like
to start sorting out the tunnel area.  I intend to put a bulkhead in there
and I am trying to decide how far back from the firewall it needs to be to allow
sufficient clearance for the nose gear leg.  Also to provide some clearance
for the springs.

I have the Tech Talk drawing that shows the tunnel bulkhead 12 inches back from
the firewall but this looks too far back.  The build manual chapter 21T, shows
the lower fuselage cutout as 9 inches back from the firewall.

Many thanks.
