Hi gang,



I'm doing a little experiment. I just purchased a few hard rubber 

wheels from Surplus Center to see if they can be used as a tail wheel 

replacement. They cost $4.95 each, and have really nice sealed ball 

bearings (6203-RSV). They have a 2 1/8 " hub width, so mounting with 

a few spacer washers will work.The problem is that the bore of the 

ball bearing is 17 mm. Can someone on the list make me an aluminum or 

steel reduction bushing, 17mm OD, 3/8" ID, and 2 1/8" long? OR do any 

of you bearing gurus know of a replacement bearing ?  This whole 

thing may be a bust, but that's why we build experimentals. Also, S/C 

has 3000 of these wheels in stock. Thanks for reading. Even more 

thanks if someone has a solution.



Louis

Louis,

I have your bushing made and it will be in the mail today, Friday, by US Mail.  If you would compensate for shipping, I will call it even.

You will notice small grooves in the metal.  They are barely .001" deep.  I polished the outside and it makes the grooves stand out.  They should not be a problem.  Keep the bushing greased as the metal will rust if left unprotected.

The outside diameter is -.001" from 17 MM.  This will allow a slip fit.

The inside diameter is +.0002 for a slip fit of the bolt.

I do not need a tailwheel.  I am building a nosedragger.  Thanks for the offer.

Dave
