Advice swapping major part of lower Cockpit frame


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

?
I had bad news this week, the mounting for my air suspension unit is bent and the inspector says I need to change it. Unfortunately the bit that needs changing is the part of the frame that everything attaches to at the bottom of the doorway.
?
Its like tube Christmas tree, it has attachments for the lift struts, and its where all the cockpit tubes come together.
?
Has anyone any advice or recommended methodology for swapping this part?
?
Just looking at it I will need to remove or support the wings and support both ends of the fuse tube so there is no weight on the undercarriage.
?
Not sure if I will need to remove the pod or if there is enough room to work as it is.
?
Any advice welcome.

As t looks like a tricky job I am going to enlist the help of a professional engineer.
