Looking for some scout gear

I have a friend with a Citabria and he would like change the gear over to scout gear and double puck brakes. Can anybody get me started in the direction for best place to get some gear legs, or who has a set to sell and the required paperwork?
Thanks Gary

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Finding the gear legs will be cake compared to doing the paperwork.
When I checked with ACA there is no support in the type certificate, so it's a major alteration with field approval. In my area that's not going to happen.

Agreed, the good news is there are some out there which have been field approved, so there’s a chance you can find a copy of a FA, and if the local FSDO is cooperative, it may work.

That said, I’d get the paperwork approved BEFORE I bought a set of gear legs. With approved 337 in hand, THEN look for gear.

Thanks guys for the above comments, and any to follow. So, if anyone has any supportive paperwork I would be happy to have copies of that.
