John,
Could you post a picture of the gear reinforcements you and Jim made when you built you Mark lll? I remember you saying that you repositioned the legs, but I have never seen a close up of the reinforcements you added to the base of your gear legs.
Thanks for sharing all you travels with us.

I'll see if I can find a photo. I am away from my PC and other files and DVDs.
The main gear was moved forward 8". A 3/4" 4130 square tube bridge was fabricated inside the fuselage under the seats.
This puts a lot of weight on the tail wheel, making the MKIII a true tail dragger. One has to stay ahead of the aircraft on the ground or she will ground loop in a heart beat. On the other hand, I have never had a problem of my MKIII trying to get the tail up and nose over.
