I used an extra 3/8" unit on my plane and a 1/2" shim on Jim White's. The Lancair parts folks used to have these in stock. You'll need some longer bolts to mount the axle to the gear leg after you make this mod. The problem with our clearances was that the gearbox was not mounted absolutely squarely in the fuselage (done at Lancair before we got the kit). By the time I discovered this problem, this turned out to be the easiest/best fix. We also had to "dish out" the gear doors a bit as part of this fix. Hope this helps. Call me if you have specific questions.. Bob
