Have others experienced an out of square landing gear on the outboard side where the outboard bracket (U-803) fits over landing gear. It appears that during the bending process the edge of the steel flares out, preventing the natural fit of U-803 over the the landing gear (U-801).
Surprised manufacturing process doesn't include milling it straight on the edge for better fit. Have others experienced this and had to manually file landing gear edge (not corners as described instructions) for best fit possible. I'm assuming its not okay to have slop in the fit for somewhat obvious reasons.
Vans told me to file it down as best I could, but just seems like an unfinished manufacturing process to me. In any case, just looking to see if this issue is common.
