David my friend who just get his today and I asked same question before. Sure you can fit robart 630 with little modification but we opted for the original ones at the end. You can also consider Tam's gear he got a set for the flash a litlle more pricy than the behotec but the nose gear is direct drive no pull pull cables. Hope this help.

We expect to have the Pro-Link gear set available for the Flash and Lightning in a few weeks. These will be both complete sets or struts only which are compatible with the stock Behotec gear.

Todd,

Do these new struts work with 8mm pins? If so are you going to get the pre-machined (with flat spots) pins?

Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
I am assuming you mean 8mm mounting pins? The struts will be designed to work with both the Behotec gear and our Pro-Link retracts (or any other gear with 1/2" trunion)
I am not a big fan of pin mounted struts but we are making provisions for stock gear. If I remember correctly, they actually used 6mm pins for mounting, have you drilled yours for 8mm?

Hi Todd,

You took the words out of my mouth, I do not like that pin type set up either, I prefer the clamping system. I like the BVM gear with your struts, but I know those new gear you make look good as well.

I would go with a high quality gear and your trailing link struts, at least on the mains, I think the nose gears don't take that much load but if I was changing all of them out I would look at the nose gear as well.

EDIT: not to speak for the boys but after my conversations yesterday, they have indeed been drilling and reaming to 8mm, Joe McB is still having problems.
