Can anyone of you, who have already installed it, please tell me, how thick plywood you have put under the retract-flanches/mounts (or what you call them)? It seems they have to be raised a bit?

Hello,

This is what i did and seems to be ok on my Sierra gear FW190

Wing front: Insert raised to 6 mm (original 10 mm so total 16 mm)

Wing back: Insert raised to 3 mm (orginal 10 mm so total 13 mm)

I cut off also about 5 mm in to get the big scale wheels better position in the wheel rest.
