Rob,
I did Mod 71 at the same time I did the Tri-Gear conversion at Bud's shop. I have pictures of some of the Mod 71 work posted on my Europa Owners site under the conversion album. They are on pages 5 & 6 of the album. We had to grind part of the upper hook point off and round it to obtain a reasonable fit. We also made up a thin stainless steel sheet to go over the Landing Gear Frame under the hooks to help prevent wear to the frame by the hooks (Page 5, about 2/3 of the way down on the right side, IMG_183post).
Hope this helps.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
Bob Borger

The plot thickens. I am working from the May 2006 version of the Mod 71 document – THE ONE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE EUROPA WEB SITE. Just curious since you have already provided it, but other than getting the 2011 version from you, where would I have found it? I hope that this has nothing to do with that little disagreement we had with George III.
The dimensions in the latest version match the Landing Gear Frame I have installed although the current LGF is of a significantly different design. And now I know that /U+220538 (Fig. 6, May 2006) means 38 mm. My very slightly larger diameter (39.4 mm) is probably all explained by the powder coat applied by the factory which is apparently no longer done. I’ll make things go together per Jeff B’s suggestion, implemented in my case with a Dremel and an abrasive cut-off blade.
I’ll advise the folks in Kirkbymoorside about the opening in my springs.
Best regards,
Rob Housman
