These are pull-truded Scotchply designed for the 4-seater grumman tiger.
Brackets, top and bottom are available from the same source (fletch-aire). No
easy to cut I think. Peter
On the contrary. These legs cut easily on a table saw. Use a 60 tooth blade.
Edges sand and clean up well.

Mine measure right at .850" thick but they have one layer of glass cloth
wrapped around them as instructed in the instruction sheet that comes with them.

Can someone tell me how thick the Diehl gear legs are.
A few months ago someone posted about some fiberglass gear legs that look
similar to the Diehl gear legs for $50.00 a set on ebay. I got a set of

Actually it is two brackets. Grove does not sell them. You need to
make your own. I can send pictures of the brackets on the one I have
for sale if anyone wants them. Mine were welded then heat treated.

And remember that I have a KR with gun drilled Grove gear, gear mounts,

Compared to the Diehl, and I have had both, it is much easier to install and
to inspect. If you get it gun drilled, brake lines are much easier. There
is no fiberglass work to be done other than to fair in the gear on the
bottom of the fuselage.
There are three downsides that I can think of, com

Thank you, Larry and Tony--
Tony--thank you very much for sending that helpful material. I'm
surprised at how close to the Diehl gear width dimensions I came (3" at
bottom, 4.25" at widest, 2" plus at top).
With my taller spars I couldn't use the Diehl bracket. Since I couldn't
use that, it

Hello All,
I found a lot of Diehl gear posts in the archives, but none with the
width dimensions of the legs.
If someone has those, or could measure them, I'd appreciate it!
For example: 2" at the top
4" at widest part on the spar bracket

Are there any issues with this, besides 'measure twice, drill once'?
I know the 'design' specifies that they go right next to the body of the

avoid it

Yes, the one piece Grove does come out under the fuselage, but it uses 3
gear mount brackets and they are not from the original retract. I had one
on my first KR2.

I have the tricycle Diehl landing gear AND Tracy O?Brian C-90 brakes, Cessna
style axles, TriStar 5? wheels (3) and Shen tires.
These are all in new condition. The current retail for these is in excess of
$2000.00. I would entertain offers
in the $1600.00 range OBO.

Got a great Diehl on a set of Diehl landing gear. Noticed from his website that
the first design was lengthened by 4" to increase flex. Does anyone know the
length of the legs after the 4" was added? Just want to know if I have the new
or old setup. Thanks, Ken

I haven't seen the web page but I believe the legs he sells now are
24 inches
Net heads,
Someone asked about the Diehl Gear,
There was a reply about the size/length 24" & 30". What does this length
apply to. ?

Length of the gear leg, end to end, no fittings.

All,
Thanks for the reply. My gear measures 23 1/4" so I guess it is the
latest configuration. I will work forward from there. As to the landing
accident, I have been bucked off a horse while gathering cattle and can
relate to "getting back on the horse"! I have also, as a low time pilot,
