Our Allegro is the oldest one in the USA so perhaps no one else has yet experienced this. Ours has 565 hours on it. Upon inspecting, I found the "drawbar attachment bearing" allowing a little fore/aft movement. Ours is factory built so I've not had to install or remove this part which is referred to as "store number" 06-03 and "catalogue number" 6001260 in my assembly manual. My questions: 1) Have you had any nose gear shimmy? 2) If so, was this the cause or was it something else? 3) For those who built their Allegro, what is involved in removing the old one and installing the new part? It looks like removing the fork and the lower "spacer" will allow it to be slid off the nose gear tube. 4) I've asked B Bar D for price and availability but have not hear back from them yet. -------- Thom Riddle N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. - Buddha Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=177996#177996 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/nosegearparts_143.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message allegro-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Allegro-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/allegro-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/allegro-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
