Hi Gordon,
If you're wanting to replace the landing gears with ones that have an electric motor then you'll want to measure the spacing for the weld stops and go with a matching fit to avoid having to weld on new mounting brackets. The Lippert Electric Landing Gear Set # LC333964 for example has a 15-1/2" inside measurement and 17-1/2" outside measurement for the weld stops. If you want to measure the weld stop spacing I'd be happy to check if there's a compatible match.
