The pants had threaded holes in them, and the screws felt tight, but looks like the rough ground loosened them. There isnt much clearance that I remember to get screws inside it, but if so, by putting bolts from the inside, epoxy the heads so they dont move, and then a nut on the inside of the strut, would that work? The screws were rather short and small too. If I remember I will get a picture of the parts I still have posted, pictures are worth a thousand words as they say.
When building ARFs I'll usually forgo the mounting block already in place, remove it if possible and make my own.
The idea is to move the pants UP so that you have as much ground clearance as possible while still retaining the looks of the plane.
I will also use small blind nuts and bolts to put them on.
