Service Bulletin 12-11-09 (Main Landing Gear Upgrade)

Vans sent out a service bulletin requesting that everyone upgrade there landing gear.  They sent all of the people flying their RV-12 a kit free of charge.  It is a pretty involved upgrade.  I started it over the weekend

I had to take the wings off and put the fuselage on a pair of saw horses.

Then I had to drain the brakes and remove the landing gear

The first part of the fix required me to drill out a bunch of rivets so that I could add a doubling plate.  I drilled out the rivets and matched up the plate. Then I matched drilled the extra holes required.  This is as far as I have finished so far.
