Skystriker front landing gear

Hi folks.
Recently got my hands on a skystriker from eBay.
Somehow the front landing gear does not fit tightly onto the body.
I'm suspecting a missing square piece that holds them together.

Anyone kind enough to share some photos of their striker's under belly?

Cheers

Heres some

You pretty much need the little square retainer - thingy. Even with it, in the gear down stage theres a little wiggle room for the gear. In the halfway stage theres a lot of play in the gear, but thats probly due to hoew the guts of the jet work.

idk - hope the pics help at least...
