I did it by cutting the spring bar in half and building the upper bracket out of 1/8" 4130 steel with two webs also 4130. Drilled lighting holes and bolted it to the spar. The lower brackets were built of 1/4" 4130. Haven't flown it yet so it hasen't been load tested.

Does anyone know of a good way to make a set of retracts into fixed gear? A way of bolting down the latches? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching the archives and didn't find a definite solution. (it is probably right in front of me) Please contact me off net.
