Am seriously considering opening up the gear towers  similar to what Mike Stewart did.  This was a suggestion in response to  questions I posed about the gear installation and I would like to flesh it out a  little more.  It certainly makes access to the 

 #$%&(at)* gear bolts and other stuff inside much  easier.  My plan A would be to bridge only the the lower 2  lightening holes, rather than all three.  Since I haven't installed the  gear yet, this would be a good time to do it.  All  suggestions/comments greatly appreciated.

Hey stan -

I suggest doing a quick search on VAF.  I know there's been some discussion about this in the past, including good pictures of what some others have done, and engineering strength talk as well. I can tell you that I didn't build the 8 that I fly, but I have tightened the landing gear bolts. Not fun!  I'd say nearly impossible without creating a couple of custom tools.

Stan,

  

 I tried to send you an email with some pics on how I did my towers but your server blocked it.  How would you like me to send them to you?

  

 Bill.
