Elite Spring Gear crush tubes & compression block questi

[N.Smith]

Hi All

Just a quick question about the spring gear compression tubes SG-10 and
compression block SG-5 that surround the AN5 and AN6 bolts holding on the
gear legs inside the FUS 5 carrythrough's.

The manual shows the bolts going in from underneath, with the nut on the
top.

My question is has anyone had a problem when changing from spring gear to
floats or the other way round and whilst the bolt is removed the compression
tubes or block move and cannot be relocated around the bolt. If the bolt was
mounted from above the nut could be removed and the bolt left more or less
in place lying through the fuselage so the tubes remain located correctly.
The other option may be to "glue" the tubes in position before the floor is
riveted down ?

Ideas, or am I just worrying about a non event (hopefully starting to rivet
the floor down later tomorrow so thought I'd check :-)
