Hi,



Regardless whether one coats or plates the nose gear tube, there still 

will be a wear problem since

sand and dust will be deposited on the gear and wear out the nylon. I 

used a somewhat

different solution. I made a nose gear fairing that encloses the strut. 

Underneath the fairing  I

lubricate the bearing with grease once a year. Almost no dirt gets into 

the grease,

and the wear has essentially stopped. For a look at the fairing, go to

Best wishes,



Klaus Truemper
