Hi Stanley,

I'd recommend you add bearing nylon to the top edge of the stops similar 

to what's seen in this link.

Straight surfaces are better than curved as I found out after and 

changed back to straight.  Link below,

 Builders:



 I followed the measurements exactly when fabricating the Nose Gear 

 Stop (7F8-6).  The problem with that was that I was off about 1/8" 

 somewhere else when doing the Nose Gear Strut Assembly (7L1-1J).  The 

 result is a gap of about 1/8" between the Nose Gear Stop and the steel 

 tube to which the steering rods attach.  Rather than ordering new Nose 

 Gear Stops from Zenair I am considering adding some bearing material 

 as that contained in the Lower Bearing (7F7-4C).



 The list has previously had pictures of such a fix and the material 

 was named but I cannot locate either in my files.  I can find nothing 

 in Aircraft Spruce that resembles what I am looking for.  Could 

 someone help me out with the name and where the item can be purchased?

Larry and Bob:

Thanks for your rapid response.  Just ordered 5 feet from Mcmaster-Çarr.
