Just a heads up that on my 1st annual I found the nose wheel axle bent after 50 hrs. 

   It was not readily noticeable as the way it bent,  the wheel was still centered in the fork.

   I knew I had few unusual landings on the grass runway where the nose gear was side loaded

   while still having rudder input when the nose touched.

   I found in the archives from last year about the new 750 solid axle and that it would fit the 701.

   I had the original hollow one.

   The axle part number for the 701 is now that new solid axle also. Order it without the spacers

   and its around $47. (Thanks Caleb and Joice at Zenith)

   The old axle was stuck and had to be hammered out. I figured I replace the bearings and got

   them from Matco for $14.80 each.
