what you can do is to losen a bit the screw that holds the spring on the upper side of the wing
you will see that the down part will move slightly , this can clear out the last rubbing you might have.
Why would they rub, I thought they were supposed to be a 'drop-in' fit?
as for fitting we had lots of customers putting them in , and they where all ok.
Others on this thread have indicated similar problems
maybe your formers where nott at the exact spot.
OK, so it's the models fault
we also have customers using 3 inch wheels instead of the 4 inch ones.
Is that because the 4 inch ones don't fit properly?
Sorry to be so difficult but I am a bit annoyed that I spent so much money on retracts and they don't fit as advertised. I can't return them for a refund as, now the model has been significantly modified, no other gear will fit. Don't get me wrong they are excellent quality, but you indicated that no modifications were needed and that is not true. They don't even fit between the retract bearers.
You can get them to fit but not without significant modification to the model (a lot more than the 3mm of skin removal that was mentioned). If I had known this when I bought them I may still have bought them but I feel annoyed that I have been misled. I just want to highlight this here so that others can make informed decisions about their gear choice.
sorry just trying to help.
as far as fitting , i also owned a flash and i did put in the retracts.
mine fitted between the bearers simply because our size is EXACTLY the behotec size.
so looking at yours you do have a problem somewhere.
if you are not happy with the gear , send it back please.
i have sold over 45 gears for the flash sofar
and you are the first with so many problems...
so take it easy and enjoy the hobby.
buy the behotec it will still fit ok ,and you can still use all options they use.
