| Subject: | New wheels, tires, axles and brakes for my Mark II |
Tracy O'Brien has sent my new wheels, tires, axles and brakes.
When cutting the hole in the axle to line up with my leg strut, how do I get the
right angle for the tire so that the wheels are angled right? The old axle
had an "8"-shaped cut in it where it looks like they tried it in one position
and had to redrill to readjust it. I'd rather not have to do that.

- I think Jack Hart has something on his web site about it.- I would dr
ill for the axle first, then clamp some vice grips around the gear so it ca
n't go in too far.- Then you can rotate it until you get the correct alig
nment, drill half way from one side, and through from the other.- Or just
start the hole from each side, pull it, and use a drill press.

guess I am not exactly sure how the axel fits to the leg strut... a
photo of what needs drilling may help.
that said.... if I were to start again. I think I would take a straight
(I mean very straight) 2x4 and strap it to the wheels with a
ratcheting tie down before installing tires. have the wheels and axels
attached to the plane and have the weight of the plane on the wheels
installed on grease plates on the floor, the 2x4 should be elevated
to the same height off the floor as the axel. that should put the
wheels in parallel alignment, if you want a bit of toe in, put a
small shim between the 2x4 and the outside lip of the wheel. assuming
the inside lip and outside lip are 5.75 inches, center to center. and
you want 1 deg of toe in. take 1 deg divide by 10 then divide by 2 and
that is the thickness of the shim. on each outside rim surface, between
the rim and the 2x4. see attachment. the amount of toe in is dependent
on the flexability of the landing gear. the more rigid the gear the
less toe in, on my mkIII I have the tapered steel legs that I got from
kolb and I ended up with 1.22 deg toe in. also I found the more air
pressure in the tires and the harder the runway surface,, the more exact
the toe in needs to be to drive straight..
a grease plate is made by putting some grease between two pieces of
aluminum plate, the wheels on the grease plates should be able to slide
side to side, for and aft and twist freely.
in a pinch I have used some 1/8 inch floor tiles. but they are fragile.
to keep from denting the alum grease plates, it could be set under a
piece of plywood.
hope this helps

instead of a 2x4 you may be straighter if you use an 1 1/2 inch
aluminum angle or straight angle iron.
