I have been following this thread on the roll pin and am grateful for the
advice. I am just in the middle of getting a new longer spindle made to
raise the nosegear for better clearance for a long prop I will be fitting.

Hi! Michael
I can't afford such luxuries as powder coating!
No such bonding on my nose wheel yoke just the Mickey Mouse Roll pin and
the shaft only uses about 1" of penetration when there's available metal
for about 2" PLUS. This alone would have supplied more rigidity.
What makes you think the shaft is bonded into place. Whatever even if it
were bonded there's not enough shear strength in a 1/4" roll pin against
a 1/2" fine threaded castellated nut being tightened. .......and I'm not
aware of any process that welds steel to aluminium !
IMHO don't mess with your life replace the roll pin with a high tensile
bolt before next flight. Then watch for a mod!
On the alignment since the nose wheel castors I can't imagine the
alignment is worth bothering with unless you are a fanatic and notice
every time you walk round the a/c!
