Hi ,

I would like to mount the landing gear on my 360. However, it will not fit 
between the forward and aft spar. It is almost as if I grind off a 1/32 inch 
on both the fwd and aft attach points of the main gear shaft where it slides 
into the two pivot points. For those who may be familiar; I'm trying to 
achieve the span wise adjustment to establish no toe in - toe out of the 
tire. The GM1(Main gear aft and fwd attach points) will not fit between the 
fwd and aft GM4 and GM5 pivot bearing block shoulders. (The GM1 butts up to 
the bearing blocks). I have the GM5 orientated where the protrusion is fwd 
(as it should be) and without undue force it conformably seats in a toe out 
orientation @ approx. 8-10 degrees. WOULD IT BE OK TO take a little off the 
back side of the shoulder blocks instead of taking off from the GM1?  
In addition, there's this protrusion of a metal flange about 3.5" tall X 1/2 
" wide  welded to the front and on the top on GM1(on both of them) . It looks 
kinda funny and I'm thinking about sawing it off as i cannot find its use.

Thanks bunches!
