I had interference problems after installing the shorter control arms on the nose gear strut and ended up putting the original arms back on.  The retracted geometry is different.

Subject: [LML] Oil Pan Concerns

If someone needs a Oil Pan Gasket for a Continental IO-550N, I have one I did not use I will sell for half what I have in it.  Why do I have it?  The retracted  nose gear linkage on a Legacy RG is very close to the bottom of the Oil Pan.  I was all set to remove the pan when an A&P suggested denting the pan enough for adequate clearance.  It was easy and a much less complicated fix.  Low time Legacy owners, check your clearance after the first 20/40 hours, you might be amazed how little you have after the mounts have settled.
