Hello Dan
1 FL10 is supposed to go into the latch, not act as a standoff. You
probably want to ream the hole if you can or work up in very small
increments.

The spacer goes through the latch to decrease friction and allow the latch
to free fall in the down position. (in theory)
The other spacer rests against the lever 'edge' in the down or up position.
Make sure it is the right sized spacer in diameter terms to fit within the
latch.
Also my advice to you is to fit the spring (diagram in next email to site)
to make sure the latch stays down on rough runways. Not staying down
does spoil your days flying, as I found out on a landing! BUGGER!
The problem is that you put this latch in situ long before you first use it
and dust etc can affect the freefall of the latch.
Hence, landing on a rough undulating strip the latch can bounce up and STAY
UP! Undercarriage decides to go up as well, very quickly.
$NZ2 spring will stop this, preventing a $3000 repair bill. Insurance is
also handy.
Cheers,
Tim

Bonjour N914RB,
If you are interesting I made drawings of Safety spring latch. Very easy to install.
I give to you off line contact me.

Anybody out there notice that Figure 14 in Chapter 28 shows the latch
(LG12A) being attached with 2 FL10 spacers? Maybe I'm missing something, but
when I put one on the bolt that goes through the lever, this places the
latch too far to port to fit into the slot. If I remove it, the latch fits
right into the slot and the lever fits into the correct position in the
lower slot.
I've checked what I think is the most recent version of the builder's manual
against my older copy but they seem to match. So I'm pretty sure it must be
something I'm not grasping. Wouldn't be the first time!
Thanks,
Dan

Doh!  I knew it was something I wasn't getting. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the tips; I'll be installing the spring too.
