Apparently this is well documented in the community but not at 

all by Vans.  Installing the eninge mount on my RV-9 

(taildragger) I noticed that the gear mounting tybes interfere 

with the lower flange of the firewall.  I trimmed the firewall 

back as others have, but even so I had to start eating into the 

lower firewall stiffener angle to get enough clearance for the 

gear leg.



I have about 1/16" clearance between the aft side of the leg 

and the lower firewall angle - is that enough ?  I can see that 

the legs have to flex, but I'm thinking the movement this close 

 to the mounting tube should be minimal.



Is 16th enough clearance ?
