Thanks, all. I made a template based on the O?Keefe axles (where GPASC redirects their axles, brakes, and bearings) and I have one concern? the O?Keefe axle plate is a 2.5? square, with mounting holes spaced at 1.75?. When I line that template up with my landing gear bracket, the two lower holes are completely off the bracket. Are we just drilling two new holes closer to the axle and grinding away the material that doesn?t contact anything? Thanks again. -Matt
