i did the product upgrade with hardware from Lancair.   The original bolts were rubbing the new Desser tires.   When I removed the forks I found a small amount of what appears to be corrosion, possibly some fretting.  A few of the bolts were not very tight when I removed them.  On the Legacy manuals there are no special TRQ for these bolts so I used the table value of around 60 in-lb.   I will retorque after a few landings.   I suggest checking these for torque if you have this Type II gear because the mating surface is slotted to allow the tire to toe-in and this fork could rotate about the strut if the bolts are not secure.
