Subject: GL 2FT nose wheel
My nose wheel developed a shimmy so I took apart the nose wheel assembly and
noticed the Allen stop bolt and the wear pad hold on screw were both lose
allowing the plate to move that allowed the nose wheel to easily move from side
to side. The holes in the aluminum plate that the wear pad was glued to
where slightly elongated and part of that wear pad between the bolt and the screw
area delaminated. I would suggest roughing up the aluminum plate before
gluing the wear pad on. I reinstalled the screw and Allen bolt with star washers.
I took the suggestion about using shims on the axle cap/ shaft assembly so
that the long through bolt could be torque down with the larger axle nut
called for by Glasair Corp.
