This would provide more material for supporting the bearing and should also reduce the number of NLG linkage failures that occur. I am very interested in the improved NLG links and MLG links if you also decided to make those. Good luck and keep us posted. Doug Raupp L235 --------------------------------- Don't pick lemons.
