 |
|
Dear friends,
I´m installing the nose gear convertion in my classic
IV and I have two questions:
1. I´ve tried to install the brace that goes in the
belly and ataches into the most forward bracket
support. The thing is that I have to bend the brace up
a little (about 1 1/2") to get the point. I don´t want
to damage it but I don´t find any other way. Is that
correct?
2. Besides, the Grove main landing aluminum spring is
not simetrical. I don´t know if the brake lines that
conect to the inner duct have to be looking to the
tail or to the front. I did not recived Grove
instructions for that. In one way both wheels are a
little forward than the other.
Many thanks in advance,
Francisco Icaza.

My instructions...for the rifle-drilled/gundrilled gear...say "Use
upper gundrilled brakeline exit hole to locate rear edge of landing
gear."

Hi Francisco,
the brake line fittings on Grove gear point towards the tail. I did a nose
gear conversion on my Speedster and nothing had to be bent to make it fit.
You can see some pictures of the conversion at

Is this a conversion avaialble from Univar or does John handle them. Can it be used on the older Kitfox's say 1993?

Be careful. Some Grove gear has the brake line outlets on the front
of the gear, while others have it on the back side of the gear. The
only way to be sure is to go by the direction of the sweep. I
verified this with Grove.
