Don,
Thanks.  Mine must have been previously fitted because I installed one 
and it seems to work just fine.  The only possible issue I can see is if 
the outer edge (opposite the hinge) catches on the gear leg and prevents 
the leg from locking down.  I'm going to sand that outer edge which will 
hopefully avoid any catching.  Did you do anything to stop the small 
door from pushing in past the fuselage opening when the gear is up?

Thanks,
John

I have the small main gear doors (SRG Elite), but they are not installed 
and the factory recommends against installing them because they can bind 
and cause problems.  Is anyone using them?
