some may laugh but get an exercise ball, you determine the height required =
, let a little air out and use it to get closer to the wheel well. I have f=

Subject: [LML] gas strut



After talking to the manufacturer, I found that they make this strut custom=
, in batches, for Lancair.  It is available nowhere else that I can find.  =
The Mc-carr part has threaded male ends, so it would require a flat eyelet =
to be welded on or bolted on somehow.  I can visualize how a deep nut with =
a flat tab could be fabricated, then reused, but why go to this trouble?  H=
ow have you veterans adapted this strut?  Also, does anyone have a simple s=
olution to getting the nut tightened up in the wheelwell where only one han=
d can reach?  Would a clevis pin with a spring clip be better?

True, KCI puts a large markup on the parts, but we sure don=E2=80=99t want =
them to go away or decide not to support older kits.  Ed Gray
