Clive,
I added short pipes on both sides of the wheel axle. See attached picture. The
pipes stop the up movement of undercarriage when they hit the two aluminum
brackets
mounted inside the wheel well (sorry, no picture, the A/C is out in the
hangar). Reasons for adding the two pipes: Firstly they reduce the torsional
forces
applied to the sidewalls of the wheel well when the undercarriage hits the
stop brackets, because the horizontal parts of the brackets are much shorter
compared to the solution with the swinging arm hitting the brackets. And
secondly
the brackets don't interfere with the brake hose.
