Sent from an IPad



After checking my nose gear, I decided to cut the collar off and

machine a 4130 by 3/4 steel rod to fit the nose gear down leg at the

proper angle.  Then machined the rod down to 5/8 to go through the

yoke and threaded the end past the yoke, then welded the rod in place.



I am hoping this will work well.  Without the collar the entire pin

and weld is visible.  I also found that the cast aluminum yoke had

stretched and was developing excessive play.  Fortunately I have a

spare  aluminum yoke.

Dennis, we found that the 4130 had a hardness of 90ksi while the bolt used  in the original was rated at 130ksi. Keep a lose eye on it and please keep us  informed of how things are going.

In my previous note I used the wrong steel specification, I meant to

type 4340 steel.  This is what I used for my nose pin.
