CK1, I looked at what you were talking about the elliptical washer and the screw holes were already towards the trailing Edge. So I reversed it to see what it would do and it allowed the gear to close up tight in the wing, but created another problem the gear would not fully lock in the down position. The scissor arms would not go past Center and lock not enough travel in the forward position. So I put it back the way it was the gear will now go down and lock like it did before but I have the play in the retracted position took a little foam put it in the wheel well to absorb the play so the gear isn't bouncing around. Thanks for your help in all of this.
