I may be wrong but I believe the main gear leg is the same for trike or conventional (Diehl gear). The leg is cut at an angle at the top where it mounts to the upper casting. For the conventional gear this angles the leg forward and for the tricycle gear it angles the leg to the rear. The gear is mounted on the forward side of the spar for conventional and on the back side of the spare for tricycle. If your gear is not already mounted you should be able to go with what you have. If mounted, the holes will probably not line up when switching from rear to front so some minor spare repair (filling the holes) and re-drilling may be in order. Not much of a hill for a climber. :-) Check out the Diehl site for instructions and I think the info is all there. Larry Flesner
