Using two layers of 5mm plywood glued together to produce the bearers for the nosegear. Here just a trial fit.
My friend Ivve Hallberg, who also built the Vampire supplied me with a link to a manufaturer in India who supplies retracts among others.

I ordered a complete set of hydraulic retracts with wheels and brakes after having seen Ivve´s gear in action. Very favourable priced.
