Regular hack saw, and a regular drill bit work just fineI don't recall the dia but you can buy carbon fiber tubing, then cut to length. I found a diamond wheel on a Dremel cuts it like butter. I would also use diamond burrs on the Dremel to drill and carve the carbon fiber. just make sure to wear eye protection and a mask. You don't want to breathe carbon fiber dust.
John at yuneec skins has everything you need either just the tubes, or the whole assembly with, or w/o the motor.Also if you could send me a picture or two that would be great to my email please.

There are alternatives made by Rakonheli available: Rakonheli CNC AL Landing Gear (1) - Yuneec Typhoon H
They are not very expensive and you can replace (in case it happens again) the tube itself, which is less expensive than replacing the entire part.
If I were to replace it like you said what type of rivet or such at the bottom of the landing gear would you use ? I noticed the one that's in there originally is plastic.
Any recommendations would be good thank you.
