Subject: Glasair-List: 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.
