Hi to all   

   Replaced my bent axle tube with a solid axle from ZAC. For what it's worth, the total weight of the entire assembly of wheel, tire, solid axle,aluminum fork(s)and nose gear strut ready to be slid back in was 17.8 LBS. 



     While I was at it, I also replaced the 1/4" thick green nylon nose gear bearings with 1/2" thick oil impregnated UHMW plastic(grey) I machined to see how they hold up. Also I have tried UHMW wear strips on the "V" notches that center the nose gear which seem to be doing well. I am doing this to get away from grease as it attracts dirt and is generally messy
