Tuna, Here are some previously posted pictures of my conversion to the Highwing bush gear.. The thin aluminum fairings on the gear add a nice look also. It was a weekend job and I am using the original Douglas wheels,brakes,axles,etc. The total weight for the conversion was a few pounds lighter than the original gear. (I weighed all the installed and removed parts).
Either way you go, it's a dramatic improvement over the stock gear !
