 |
|
I'm in the process of looking at 55M's and I've got a question regarding the Titanium spring gear up front. One that I've looked at is slightly more sprung meaning that it is riding on the inside of the tire more so than the other 55 that rides more on the center of the tire. Is there a criteria for checking this? Is this an issue indicating some hard landings?
Thanks,
Don

That is an absolutely standard problem on the 55. You don't have to do many
poor landings to start bending the undercarriages, which is clearly what has
happened here. But the right people can bend and re-temper the undercarriage
if it is removed, so it is not a permanent problem.

Richard,
Is there anyone in the US who can do this, or is it best to ship the gear back to Europe or Russia for this repair?

We use a company in Hungary who have experience of titanium, and the right
temperatures to use, and of course have a very powerful hydraulic press. But
I'm sure there are companies in the US who can do this.
