Grove Gear installation for a Model IV Speedster

[Spook712]

OK, so the Scoop and Radiator have to move Forward!

How/where do I Mount the Scoop and the Radiator on, are there any mounting ponts or did anyone make modifications for the relocation?

If so, Pictures would be appreciated.

Marc,
The shroud and radiator are attached to the wood floorboard with bolts that pass through tubular spacers to support the two components just at the level of the fabric. This airplane doesn't have the shroud so all you see in the picture are the heads of the bolts that support the radiator. This was standard mounting practice per the builder's manual.

Grove gear installed! Pretty easy and straight forward. Didn't have to move the radiator shroud. Only cut sides of the shroud to allow the gear to install. Thanks for the comments and help.

Cool, great looking!

Can you post some more close-up pictures from the shroud area?

Paul, that is one outstanding looking Kitfox no matter the gear under her. BTW, you will love the Grove.

Beautiful. And with the pants on, it still has the classic look.

Hi,

Question, I still have the bungee gear with ATV wheels but have the Grove Gear ready for Installation.

Q: Can I use my brake System (Matco) from the old gear, does it fit
to the Grove or do I have to do modifications.

Q: Could you post or PN me some more Pictures, especially from the
mounting block area and the cutout of the shroud for the Radiator.

Thanx,
Tuna

Paul, nice looking plane. You will love the Grove Gear. I did this with mine and really like it. Love your paint scheme as it looks familiar. LOL Looks real nice.

I'm just in the process of installing the gear.

As I got s started, I found out that the attachment brackets don't really fit my attachment Points on the aircraft.

On the left side is a 5mm length difference ( I try to post Pictures ).

Did anyone else have the same experience?
How do I fix it?
