Hi! Everyone   

For the avoidance of doubt I can confirm that the Castoring Spindle on a new Nose gear and Leg Assembly which I collected today from the Europa Factory is indeed fastened in to the wheel yoke by Locktite and a roll pin and the spindle only projects into the aluminium yoke by 1” with the roll pin about half way up the penetration.  

There is adequate yoke metal for the spindle to extend another 1” plus …into the yoke………and dare I say it room for another ¼” roll pin from port to starboard ! …….but there was no sign of locktite on my failed item. (Which is not to say there never had been )  

   

Regards to all   

Especially the doubters!

Hi Bob,

  

 I just had a look at my nose wheel again. There is still some blue -  

greenish residue on both sides around the shaft and it looks like it has not  

been wiped off properly which I believe is some sort of adhesive  (Redux or Loctite?). I agree that the shaft could be a little longer 

inside  the casted fork but my guess is that Europa might wanted to save some  

weight.
