    Sorry, moderator of the site, it didn’t show his ad going up on the Internet so that’s the reason why I push the button a couple times and unbeknownst to me.

    Actually those look like MK IV landing gear to me.  They were two inches taller than the earlier models, and had the step on them  JImChuk

    Your calipers look right as far as I can see.  They have to be able to move in and out on the pins to stay centered on the brake rotor.

    hi everyone, I'm gonna wait on the engine and get the other parts that I have the build manual for. I'm in the process of installing the brake calibers, and I'm confused on it. Does the calibers bolts to the landing gear or is it free floating? Here are some pics for you all.

    Yes I believe all are same through MKIV. Magnum is different.

    This does look very nice for sure. Aluminum is fun to work with on a lathe. What kind of bearings do the 1 1/4 inch axle's use? It looks like some sort of sealed tapered roller just at a glance. If it is it will or should be essentially bullet proof.

    I did a follow up on the hubs over in the Kitfox 4 section.  I finished them today.  I thought I had posted about starting on the hubs but didn't notice where it was.  JImChuk

    Well I'm still putzing on the new Kitfox build, I bought a Kitfox cabane style landing gear for it, and it had a set of aluminum 1 1/4" axels.  I could buy new 3/4" axels from grove for about $225, or look for some 6" wheels that use the 1 1/4" axels.   I've seen a video where a 3/4" axel broke on a grove gear, and it messed up the plane pretty quick.  I ended up making my own hubs that will still use the 8" wheels I have, and the 1 1/4" axels.  Bought some 4" long, 3" aluminum tube with 1/2" wall, and some 4" x 1/2" aluminum circles, all on ebay.  Machined things down, and took them to the welder.  Got them back yesterday, trued them up on the lathe, and pushed in the bearings.   They are done now and I think they will work just fine.  I like playing on the lathe anyway.  The dirty hub is the factory kitfox one for 3/4" axels.   JImChuk

    I have an AVID MK IV nose gear assembly that I am converting back to tail dragger. I would sell the nose wheel. I have some partially complete main gear for tail dragger. So looking to trade or cover the cost of welding up the main gear.
