I am building a Lancair 360 and have retrofit an Outback main gear system.
The original main gear is complete, unused, and for sale if anyone needs
one.  The gear doors are included with the exception of the right outboard
gear door that I used in my retrofit and the left outboard gear door has a
small piece cutout (in an attempt to obtain clearance and use in the
retrofit) that requires repair.  Otherwise the gear is complete and never
used.  In addition, the flap system had to be modified and the hardware from
the old flap linkage is available.

I am a bit concerned with the tight fit of the Outback gear.  More
specifically, there is very little clearance between the gear doors and the
tire in the closed position.  If anyone has any comments or experience that
may be helpful in reducing my concerns I would appreciate hearing from you.
In the closed position I have less than 1/8 inch of clearance between the
tire/wheel and the gear door with the tire resting against the wing skin on
the opposite side.  Is this enough?
