    Default T3 and Tundra Light

    I am doing an initial fitting of my Tundra Light tailwheel and the T3. The Tundra Light has a recessed area to fit over the 'tongue' of the tail wheel mount but the T3 mount has a part on it that makes it too wide to fit into the recess. For those of you who have mounted the Tundra Light on the T3, did you remove that part and use a shorter cross bolt? Is there another method of doing it?

    Thanks ahead of time

    Yes remove as you don’t need them.

    Thanks Dustin. Thought so but better to ask those who went before me.

    Appreciate the answer.

    You are gonna love that set-up. If for any reason you ever need some extra cable for the locking mechanism - I have a whole roll of it.
    Be glad to share.

    Looking back I would leave the locking mechanism off. Seems to be more dangerous locking it than having it unlocked. Used it for the maiden and haven’t used it since.
