Hi Jeff-
Unless I am mistaken, which I have been know to be on rare occasions,
there is no tortional loading of the legs above the pivot point, so you
should be fine to remove in the offending areas.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Sump tank fitting clearance
Hey folks....retrofitting my 173RG to the new sump tank system (that
fits under the center section spar against the firewall) and am having
the darnedest time getting the hydraulic fittings in the sump tank to
clear the upper gear legs during retraction. I have sunk the fittings
about as far into the hard points in the tank as I think possible, but
the gear leg(s) still scrape on the fittings during their cycle up and
down. The upper gear legs have that torsional wrap all the way to the
top....anyone think it would be OK to grind a small stripe into the
upper gear leg to allow for clearance? I don't think the upper gear legs
carry a lot of torsion above the through-the-leg main gear bolt......the
upper legs are there mostly for the retract system and a fore/aft
stability provided by the sockets,....right? OK to grind away some gear
leg????? Anyone else experience this problem? THANX Jeff Clough
