I discovered today that the Grove (airfoiled RV8) U-803 outboard main gear attach bracket bolt holes do not line up with the Vans U-805 wear plate. They are off ~ .003-.005. Putting a square to them I find that they have warped slightly due perhaps to the process of beveling the LG mating surface.
A couple of solutions come to mind. One is to drill the bolt hole to the next larger size. The other is to carefully bend the piece back to square (my preferred approach).
Has any of the Grove users encountered this issue and what did you do about it?
Any thoughts on my alternatives (I emphatically solicit any and all suggestions).
thanks,
Don
