U-807 wheel fairing attachment bracket

Well Known Member
I am fitting main wheel assembly to Grove gear. It looks like wheel fairing attachment bracket U-807-L doesn't fit. It interferes with gear leg bend. Did anybody have that problem? How did you deal with it? The bracket is heavy gage and not easily bendable.

Will post picture tomorrow forgot my camera in the shop. :)
 
Not at all Vlad. Not to state the obvious but I'm sure you have the correct side and orientation?

I had to put a slight bend in mine. A couple of degrees I guess.
They probably would clamp up OK under the bolt tension, but I rathered they didn't touch.
I used my small shop press.

In the previous photo, the straight fitting into the top of the caliper won't allow the caliper body to slide out of the mount. You would need to remove the wheel pant bracket or disconnect the line. Might want to plumb it this way:

Thanks for taking the trouble to point that out Dan. That looks much better.
Hope your taking notes Vlad, There's a tip from Dan for free ;)
