My club is considering fixing the gear down on our 103. I know some other clubs have done this. Does anyone know how it was done and what paperwork was involved?

Anybody out there with an L13 that is never going to fly again willing to part with an oleo strut? I don't care if it still holds pressure, I am looking for a used core I can rebuild. The Soaring Club of Houston has three aircraft that rely on this strut. I can rebuild them, but need more of...
