guess that it could work if one really took care in how they did it. However,
replacing a damaged pant would be a little more of a problem.</FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SCRIPT">The pant is held to the strut with a single 4-40 screw. I
install a lite ply plate on the inside of the pant. When using the klett
axle, I cut a hex hole through the pant and ply doubler so that the pant is
flush to the strut. Then, with the pant and axle in place and aligned, I
drill through the strut into the pant/doubler. Use a t-nut on the back side
of the plate. The 4-40 screw is located directly above the axle (about 3/8"
center-of-axle to center- of-screw). Of course, you need to be sure the 4-40
screw doesn't protrude too far into the pant so as to grab the
wheel.</FONT><FONT lang=0 style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"
