Bryan,
The gear legs were straight from Vans.  After having been ripped off by Fred Breeze (Conversion Concepts) I ordered an engine mount and matching gear legs from Vans and had Ed Klepis convert it. I had bought a pair from Harman Lang several years ago to be match drill to the CC mount, but after spending the money and not getting the mount I sold them to someone in Texas can't now remember.  The only advice that I can relay is that of a machinist friend.  Use a good sharp centering punch and good luck if you don't have a good drill press to mount the gear leg in.
Wish I could help more.

Bob,

Any tips on drilling your gear legs?

Thanks,

Charlie,

as you can see in the photo I used a laser light level to find the distance, but as you probably know the line gets somewhat thick the father you get from the source.  SO you can add or subtract a 16 th.  I got 4" 15/16.  Ed Klepis probably has that figure in his notebook.  Let me know what other numbers you come up with.
