Does anyone know what the hole "A" is used for on the left front fitting per the1934 plans for the split axle gear? Do you put the 3/16" holes as well as the 1/4" hole on the fitting for a total of 3 holes on the bottom of the fitting plate? Thanks for the help Ron Lebfrom________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Pietenpol-List: RE: Hole A on left front liftgear fitting>Hole "A" is a 3/16 inch dia hole like the others. That hole, on thatfitting, is moved over so that you can install the hinge lug. Look at thetop right hand side of the split axle landing gear drawing (left frontfitting). The lug is moved forward so the shock strut tubing will notcontact each other.>Bart D Conrad>Boeing Field Service>DC-9/MD-80/DC-10 & 737 Heavy Mtc>Phone: 713-640-5882/713-324-4192>Fax: 713-640-5891>Pager: 713-318-1625>>> ----------

My print shows this hole too. This is a 1/4" hole ,as well as the 3/16" boltholes, and it says that it is in this fitting only. Only thing that came tomy mind, was for airspeed tube hole....Yeah, what is that hole for???walt-----Original Message-----

You are right, it is a 1/4 inch hole and not a 3/16 inch hole. I still think itis the fitting attach hole and had to be moved to make room for the landinggear attach lug. The diameter was probably increased from 3/16 inch to 1/4 inchto compensate for being moved closer to the other hole.
