The actual root cause is poor design. A Design which takes rolling loads as differential bending would be so much better. This could be achieved with 2 bolts although it would need a T shaped end. A fully bushed insert would also relieve bending in the bolt. Design is so much easier with hindsight. -------- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=483192#483192 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:06:20 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Mono tail wheel spring mounting bolt break From: "JonSmith" John Wighton wrote: > The actual root cause is poor design.
