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.
