Thanks for the info Jonathan.
I contacted Andy Draper and he gave me the following names:
"Europa (Swift) will do the conversion for you. I don't know the cost, though.
Another place you could try is Targett Aviation (Toby Willcox) at Nympsfield
airfield, or in the Midlands, there's EES (Richard Kilham)"
I've emailed them all for quotes today and will await their responses.
Regarding the Tri-Gear Conversion Kit, yes it's advertised on the Europa Site @
5000.
Cheers
James
