OK the plans are a little light here
It says to center the axle on the bottom of the spring gear but how far up from the bottom does it go!! Pics anyone???
And do you round the bottom of the spring gear to match the round part of the axle flange?? Zenith doesn't have a picture of the blasted thing without the wheel installed
I'm gonna have a machine shop cut the mounting notches and drill the axle holes as well as make the notches for the brake caliper mounting, and I'm hoping to get it done this week, so pony up the advice kids!!!
Thanks

Larry,
I tried to locate the pads to minimize the work on the gear legs. I just slightly rounded the end corners of the gear legs. I have attached a couple of drawings that I used to determine the location and orientation. The drawings are to scale; but to ensure the scale, the two random short lines must be exactly 10" apart. Let me know if you have questions.

I put the flat side of the axle flush with the bottom of the spring
gear and filed off the corners of the gear just enough to allow
clearance for the brake assembly. (I have the Grove wheels and axles).
I just put the assemblies together and held them against the springs
to visualize how much metal to remove to get a good fit with the least
work.
