HI ALL,



I've got the Zenair nosewheel from 1995 or so - a plastic wheel that  

bolts together.  Is it just my failing memory?   Or where there  

some flyers who had this wheel fail on them?  I've also got that very  

awkward fork-spreader nose axle/spindle that I want to change now, so  

I may just change to an entirely different wheel.



Does anyone have a part no. and/or information regarding the latest  

model nosegear from Zenair for the 601 HDS?



Thanks much

Grant,

I don't remember having ever read about a plastic nose wheel on the 

Zenith or one that failed.  My revision 3 plans describe

the nose gear as part number NW80CC-Z, 16-inch nose wheel.  The assembly 

is a threaded long wheel support with spacers

and a AN4 bolt each end.  Most of us have drilled out the 6L1-4 long 

support to accept an AN4 thru-bolt that is captured

outside the fork by the head and washer one end, a washer and castle nut 

on the other.  Having bolts each end seemed a bit iffy

for security of the nose wheel.  I've also been using the Michelin S83 

3.5 X 8.0 tires with tubes am very pleased with them.

Current nosewheel for 601XL by ZAC is Matco NW51.
