Rob,
I used a cutoff tool and trimmed the end of the spring. Works fine for
5+ years...

accept as normal with the factory’s step child, the Tri-Gear.
The diameter of the Landing Gear Frame is 1.55 inch (39.4 mm) and the
opening in the spring that must hook onto it is 1.35 inch (34.3 mm).
This seems to allow for either of two solutions, neither one
particularly elegant. 1) use brute force to deform the hook in the
spring, 2) cut off some of the end of the hook.
Comments and suggestions from those who have perhaps already dealt with
this, or anyone else for that matter, would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
