| Subject: | nose wheel fork issues |
Need help with 2 issues with my nose wheel fork. The 9/16 threads on the
right side of the nose wheel fork are worn out so the axle attach bolt just
passes thru the nose fork and threads into the axle. Result is some play on
the axle and uneven nose tire wear. Can a machine shop install new metal
insert and tap the threads to 9/16th? Is there some other repair? Or should
I try to replace the nose wheel fork which is otherwise OK?? Where find
replacement?
The 2nd issue is the 2 aluminum spacers that slide over the axle has worn
down on the ends, become shorter, so when the nose wheel tire is fully
inflated, the tire scrapes on the inside of the nose wheel fork. Where can
I get new (bit longer) aluminum spacers on the axle?? What would be the
specs of those spacers if shopping for them?? I am stumped and grounded,
appreciate any helpful information.
