This is how the landing gear looks after the modification

1

As indicated by the red dots, fill the two holes that are cast into the existing piece with a thick gap-filling superglue. This will strengthen the area behind the front of the first step to support the pin you will be inserting.

2

Glue the landing gear together. Then drill a 1/16" hole through the support strut right above the "rubber boot part" and into the front of the bottom step.

3

Cut a piece of wire approx. 3/8" long then super glue it into place

4

Now carefully cut off the original landing pad with a razor saw or a dremel tool.

5

Clean up the bottom with files and sandpaper etc.

6

Carefully drill up into the bottom of the strut.

7

Drill into the indent on the top of the new pad.

8

Cut a small piece of wire and super-glue into place.

WAIT
 DO NOT ATTACH NEW PADS UNTIL
you have completed steps 1-8 for all three sets of landing legs.

Glue the landing legs to the bottom of the hull. Now with a five minute epoxy glue the new pads onto all three of the landing legs and carefully turn the ship over so it is sitting on the new pads. Now you can can make any final adjustments before the epoxy has cured.
