Diehl main gear legs for conventional and tri-gear configurations are NOT interchangeable. For the tri-gear you must use the tri-gear version. I have wasted a lot of time and money getting this interchangeable issue figured out. The metal castings that mount to the spar are interchangeable.

If it is Diehl gear, the mains will be composite & bolted to 2 big aluminum castings that attach to the spar. If it is Grove gear, the mains will be metal 'spring' legs like a Cessna. If it is Robinson-Rand gear, it will have these ginormous metal castings & will retract backwards into the wing.
