Hi
Ages ago I seem to remember seeing a nose wheel mod that kept a tow bar from penetrating the nose wheel pant. Rather it had a washed and elongated bolt that kept the tow bar outside of the wheel pant and prevented damage due to improper insertion.
Does anyone have a link to this - I can't seem to find it in the archives.
Manny thanks
Les

It's there, and I just converted mine over this past weekend.
Use a 3/8 x 2 1/2 inch long box head bolt with a body style big washer on it to stop the tow bar ears from going too far towards the pants.
You also have to use about a 1/2 inch long sleeve between the bold head and the aluminum trianglular block that holds the front of the wheel pant support. I found a 1 inch long solid bronze insert and cut it in two pieces.
You might look at your threads closely. Mine were fine (24) threads and one had started to strip, so based on long time A&P comments, I drilled out and used heli coil inserts so I could use coarse (16) threads. He said aluminum should use coarse threads, not fine.
I'll try to take a picture tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I didn't make it clear in the original post -- the washer backing the head is just less than the diameter of the hole in the fiberglass so that no metal touches the glass.

Thanks, Lew.
Les, mine look just like Lew's except my big washer is a shiny one.

I looked at AS&S and Vans for the SCREW 3/8-24X 2 1/2 and came up empty.
Any leads where to get the screws would be appreciated.
Thx
Pascal

send you a couple.
