Default Grove Landing Gear

I have decided to go ahead and order the quickbuild RV8 fuselage kit from Van's, and most likely will install a Grove Streamlined landing gear. Question from those who have gone this route: which parts would I NOT want from Van's? The landing gear itself is obvious, but what other parts would I not need if I'm doing a Grove installation? Thanks

Jim,

I installed Grove airfoil gear and had Van's delete the following from the standard FUSELAGE kit: U-801-L, U-801-R gear legs, (2 ea.) U-803 and (2 ea.) U-804 inboard and outboard attach brackets. The (2 ea.) U-812 gear leg fairings were deleted from the FINISH kit.
