Bolly Gear on Temptation

[Reeves]

Hi Bob, On my Alliance I mounted the gear as one piece and then built a small fairing onto the fuse to fill in the gap. It has worked great and looks smart too. On the new Synergy I couldn't resist doing it the way everyone else does it and cut the gear in half. Are you using the Bolly to get more ground clearance? Best Regards, Reeves.

  Getting ready to fix a Bolly F3A wide fixed gear to the Temptation.  The gear's about 5/8" narrower than the fuse.  What did you guys do-cut the gear in half and space 5/8" apart or mount the gear as one piece?  Seems that separating it may require more mounting bolts than single piece but will look better without a large gap between cowl and fuse.  One thing that really disappointed and surprised me is that the Bolly is almost 2 ounces heavier that the Piedmont gear.
