Jean Michel, one of my french friends would like to install such a kit on his LDG. Do you think it's possible without undertaking a lot a modifications ?

The kit in question:

Frederic, that looks like a very simple installation. And yes, it will fit without any fancy mods. the only thing that may be a small problem is the length of the cross shaft, there is a possibility you may have to shorten it a bit so measure how much space you have where the shaft will go. Martin.

You will also need the shorter knee lever mounting bracket, the one that connects the actual knee lever to the cross-shaft due to the lowered undercarriage body. The Super Pro's dont have the back body drop underneath that the LDG's do. My advice would be to consider the ones that Bobby Seymore sells that are the unbreakable aircraft aluminum. The original mounting levers were made from pot metal and will break when you need it out on a job. Best of Luck to you. Zeke

Not a Super Pro, but a lot of things are possible. Ricky Davis Did mine, with Coop parts.

You should contact Jeff Surrat at ShowPro ...I have retrofitted knee levers to various ShoBuds that had the Super Pro type undercarriage and Jeff's kits look very similar and complimentary !
