Kingsley,
In those photos the mount is resting on the engine mounting points. These
are offset toward the starboard side of the aircraft. I suspect that the
"error" that you found is supposed to be there.

Fellow Europaphiles (Mono believers only)
I think I made the list aware of this some time back but just in case I
didn't . . .
Take a look at the attached photos which are self explanatory and note the
packing which was necessary on one of the stops.
Of three undercarriage frames I have checked, all have had this problem. I
therefore suspect that YOURS might be like it too.
IOW, one stop is shorter than the other and when the LG08's are pinned to
the shaft, although they both touch their respective stops at the same time,
they (the LG08's) are not in the same plane. One is more over-centre than
the other. I'll leave it as an exercise to work out what this could cause!
Cheers
Kingsley in Oz
