The retracts I'm using are Romair. One slight differnce in the nose wheel mounting I came across in comparison to the kit ,was the original MK retracts are mounted directly to two thin hardwood beams. The Romair nose retract requires a slightly modified mount. This was quite simple, using a beech hardwood block, held in place with JB Weld epoxy.

As you will see, there isn't much room with the YS header pipe next to the retact, but they don't interfear with each other.

Finally for today the wing retaing bolt is epoxyed in place with JB Weld.

Attached are the belly pans mentioned previously. A mould is shown furthest away, next is a light flexiable temperlate used for locating cylinder head etc, lastly the original belly pan supplied in the kit.
