Hello,
your description of the appearance of your parts triggered a memory of a conversation I had with
Grant Corriveau years ago.
He had his gear legs (CH601-HDS) finished by some process (no idea what it was) that gave them a
matt finish appearance.
Apparently this type of finishing (mind you, it might be something different from yours) makes
the gear leg surface act as sandpaper: over time, it enlarged the whole on the legs' bearings. it
This is the story as I remember it, maybe Grant can confirm it.

Wright Inc. in Lees Summit, Mo. and had them plated with a process called "Electroless Nickel".
It has the look of brushed stainless. The steps, nose gear, yolk, ect. looks great.
Please don't ask me about the process but instead call and talk to Steve Schmidt, the general
manager there. The phone number is 816-525-5417. the email is chromeen(at)swbell.net. He's a
airplane guy, and some other builders have taken their parts there. You can UPS them and he
will plate and send them back to you. The price is quite reasonable.
I wanted to pass this along in case some of you wanted to plate your steel parts.
