If anyone has replaced the U-1004B wheel nut extensions with something more substantial to alleviate the failure which will happen when using rough airstrips, then a good use for the original extensions is to drill completely through the length of them then cut them up to make the six U-1008 brake spacers. Much better material for the spacers than the soft ATS-058 tube called for in the plans. [pages 46-4 & 46-5 in plans]

They are solid and agree with Charlie, better to go this route than try 

anything else.

I was fortunate to get the Don McDonald spacers. He made a certain amount 

and are now carried by Plane Innovations 

http://www.planeinnovations.com/axlesbrackets.html, if you scroll down the 

webpage there are a couple of other items, again Don specials that I also 

have and they have been great for the seatbelts, passenger side never 

dropped out in the air when not in use.



As a side note, I have the steel heater bypass 

http://www.planeinnovations.com/heaterbypass.html. From experience, they 

block all the heat and I don’t have a tunnel heat issue, not sure they are 

related but I know from testing that the aluminum ones from the kit leak and 

these don’t. There is a deflector that covers the door when closed which 

helps block the forced air.

Hey Guys,



I think you may have missed Greg's point -- he has replaced the axel 

extension as you have, and is using the old extension for brake spacers.



Later, - Lew
