Default Std. 2 Jantar - CG Tost hook?

The manual mentions that a CG hook can be mounted on the landing gear. Does anyone have instructions from the factory on that process?
Thanks

It is basically a mount already welded into the gear and two bolts through it. The cable is a separate item off the main pulley below the instrument panel. Inside the seat pan area, you need a large rounded cutout to allow it to swing up with the undercarriage. Typically there is a FRP piece that is bonded into the fuselage to cover the hole. All the Jantars I have seen had this built in from the factory, but it may have been optional if yours never came with the CG hook. I should be able to find the right TOST part number. Do already have a hook and just need to know all the fittings?

Also, I recommend you join up the Jantar group over on Yahoo as there's a lot of drawings and useful paperwork there.
