I'm on my second bracket repair. The first time I bought new brackets and added a doubler. During every preflight I check the rigidity of the wheel pants and every time it has been rock solid. Imagine my surprise when I took the front wheel pant off for my 1st condition inspection and found both the new bracket and doubler with cracks in the same places as before.
I too operate off a grass strip and would be very interested in having a 4130 version of the bracket. Gary, is there any chance of getting them from you? That would be a great solution.
I understand that Rob Hickman replaces his frequently and also operates from grass.
Thank you,
Gerry
