Moving the gear ahead 3/4" and using the front mounting holes in the plane and the back mounting hole in the gear works great...You just need to epoxy a 1/4 ply mount inside the floor of the plane and drill two blind nuts into it for the other two mounting bolts in the gear...I dont know if I have described this very well but it is very easy and costsalmost nothing...The original gear works great on our bumpy grass field..I almost never nose over anymore..I had an awfull time before I did this..The gear is a wee bit lite and easy to bend but this plane is so easy to land that I very seldom have a hard landing..I really like the looks of the swept back gear...
