Default Twin Astir Retractable gear door mechanism pictures

Thanks! That pretty much answers my question. Ours is the earlier cast aluminium main gear version. Upon inspection I noticed that the spots where the gear door links attach in the pictures has no attachment points and the area has been filed and dressed smooth. Obviously at some point they were broken and someone decided to just clean the gear leg up and leave the doors off instead of doing a full repair.
