allen bolts and spike nuts. Please note the orientation of the spike nuts with the flat face against
the ply rather than the spiked face as would normally be the case. Fit the stop collar to the ram
shaft and secure losely in place ready for final adjustment later.
Before fitting the M3 clevis to the gear door ram, you must trim 5mm from the threaded end of the
clevis to ensure smooth operation when fitted. Screw the clevis on to the ram as far as it will go
and attach to the pre drilled hole on the gear door hinge.
Nose Gear Doors
The mounts for the nose gear door rams are installed for you at the factory. Bolt the 2 rams to the
mounts with M3 x 15 allen bolts with nylock nuts. You might find the mounting holes in the rams
are slightly large. If this is the cse you can sleeve the bolt with a piece of scrap fuel tubing to take
up the slack. Fit the supplied plastic ball links to each ram and attach to the pre drilled holes in the
gear door hinges with M2 x 10mm screws and nuts. Apply a little loctite to secure the nuts. The
limits of closing the gear doors can be adjusted simply by screwing / unscrewing the ball link to
achieve the optimum fit.
