So I just spent the last couple of months ripping out my retracts, putting in a
Diehl gear assembly, foaming and glassing the resulting holes and today I put
my Matcos on only to find that the camber between the wheels isn't even
remotely close. I sat there in a very pissed off mood measuring

You are supposed to put flox between the metal bracket and the gear leg
when you bolt it on. I don't see any reason why you couldn't get
whatever angle you need with washers and flox. use some bagging film or
Saran wrap so you can get it apart, remove the washers, and reflox it again.

I have the same problem. I have found Dan very easy to talk to, but the
simple fact is that most of the companies supplying for the homebuilt
market do not produce installation manuals that are appropriate for the
first time builder. "Simply put it together" doesn't cut it. When I wrote

measuring and re-measuring again only to find that the lower gear brackets
do not share the same angle formed between the gear leg and the axle. As a
matter of fact, it turns out that between the two, they're several degrees
off (about 4 degrees).

I went through this 6 yrs ago myself and could not believe how far off I
was, I also used Dan's landing gear package. I'm not sure exactly how the
