Hello list.I initially built my main gear (Grega GN-1) and completed them just enoughto be able to slide the wheels/tires on and be able to move the fuse aroundin my shop. That was about a year ago. Now I want to finish the maingear/wheel/brake system. I am using 8 x 4.00 wheels and tires from a J-3 (Ithink). My problem is I dont really know EXACTLY how the brake backingplate and wheels are oriented on the axle. Also I am a bit nervous that thebrake backing plate + the width of the assembly + the wheel width + thethreaded end of the axle = more axle length than I have left myself.Unfortunately I did not leave myself an inch or two extra length like I wishI had. DRAT!So I guess what I am needing is a cutaway of the J-3 wheel/brake assemblywith dimensions . Or pictures??Does anyone know if this is available? I might upset the local cub ownersif I start pulling off their landing gear right there on the ramp...For those familiar with it, I built to the Grega plans.I would appreciate any help here. Thanks In Advance.Bert Conolybconoly(at)surfsouth.com________________________________________________________________________________
