Hi, Here are some pictures of the landing light installation. Notice that you have to bevel the front of the trim ring to clear the light bowl. The best way is to setup the linkage without the gear in. Run the push rod about 3/16" above the gear mount to allow for the thickness on the mount, and the pushrod should be next to the mount sides. When everything is working, put in the nose gear and make whatever adjustments are necessary to make it work correctly.
I have the landing lights on a separate channel and not tied to the retracts. I didn't want the drag penality on takeoff with the lights extended. Probably not much, but the F-86 has a long takeoff roll and every little bit helps.
