Lower main gear doors

[Steve Dawson]

Just wondering if anyone has a set of lower gear doors for a 78 Monney M20J? Believe a K model will work also.

Thanks,

Steve

I have a pair as-removed from my '77 J.

He is in the process of buying my old pair, Jim.    I "upgraded" to the lower profile fiberglass doors hoping for a knot or two, but that didn't happen.  The only advantage I see now is better durability over the aluminum version...but I'm not sure that is worth the effort and expense.

Scott, Did the low profile doors go with the brake caliper rotation mod?  Did they allow you to remove the fairings behind the wheel well?

[KSMooniac]

Yes to all of the above... it certainly is a lot "cleaner" under there, but at the end of the day it didn't seem to help measurably.  I'm sure the fiberglass lower doors are more durable, though, so that is nice.

Thanks. I was debating doing this to mine. I have one of those fairings aft of the wheel well that got damaged to the point that I took it off. It was bare metal under there with lots of corrosion so I figured I would take the other one off before painting. Since they were off it seemed like a good time to be rid of them. The gear doors are pretty hammered too from dirt strip ops.
