Hi all:

Just noted an item and thought you, who have been there before me, may
have some suggestions:
 
Working on a partially complete 235 kit I noted about 1/4" clearence 
between main gear aft attach bracket (GM5) and the forward face of the 
center aft spar (with the gear nice and perpindicular to the main spar 
and tightly butted up to the forward attach bracket bearing in GM4).  
The plans call for taking up the space with a BID layup but was 
wondering if a shim of 1/4" X 2" AL or phenolic might be better for a 
gap this large.  If AL is preferred, does anyone know what type of AL 
(2024T3/6061 etc) the original GM5 is fabricated from?

Thanks for the help.
