1. 12:53 PM - Source for FT nose gear friction pad? (MPPalmer@aol.com)

Subject: Glasair-List: Source for FT nose gear friction pad?
The nose gear friction pad on our Glasair FT has noticeably worn. (2800 hours
/ 13 years.) There's a slight step where it bears against the bottom of the
stop plate.
And, over all these years, it has absorbed oil. Some of the oil can be
leeched out by soaking the pad in solvent, but I'm thinking I should probably look
for a new pad. We get a slight shimmy as we come to a stop, although I also
discovered that the hardware holding the friction pad was loose. That would
explain the slight side to side shimmy.
I'll plan to email NewGlasair about it, but thought I would ask if anyone has
found an alternate source for the FT nose gear friction pad.
Thanks,
Mike Palmer <><
