Now if anyone can send me some pictures on how to convert a solid LGto shock I would appreciate it.Tell me where in AS&S I can find the shock rubber donuts and moreinformation on the spring setup.SteveSteve W GN-1 builderIHA #6________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Main Landing Gear.Steve,I believe I've seen rubber "donuts" listed in the Wag-Aero catalog. I know they're used on Ercoupes, and might be made to fit your gear. Check 'em out.Don Cooley________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 07:43:27 -0600

I used Urethane pucks 6 x 1" each at a cost of $60.00 Canadian. Normallyused at newspaper printing houses. They can be made to order. I found forthe Piet. weight it should be Duro #080. Will last forever. Absorbs shockand does not throw back the energy like rubber.Dom.________________________________________________________________________________
