| Subject: | Nosewheel Fork bushing Drawing 62 |
Folks,
I need to order a new set of nosewheel fork bushings to go in to my soon to arrive
(non-Vans) 5x5 nosewheel fork.
I understand they are listed on drawing 62 and may be called U-612....I can't find
that in Vans 'list' to order. I don't have the drawing here with me. I'm
also figuring that I'll destroy the bushings from my current fork if I try to
remove them and re-use them.
If someone could read that number from their drawing I would appreciate it.
Ralph

Ralph,
Give me the shaft size and the size of the hole that the bushing
goes into. It is a flanged "oilite" bushing. I sell a series of oilite
bushings so its not rocket science.

Hi Ralph,
I need to know the length of bushing you need. The bushings need
full support. So what ever the bushing goes into, measure the area that
the bushing is supported by the fork. Any hollow area is a non-support
area for the bushing.
Jim

| Subject: | WTB or trade engine mount and cowl RV7A |
Hi everyone,
I need an O-320 engine mount and cowl for an RV7A.? Does anyone have one that they
would like to sell?? I currently have an RV7A IO-360 engine mount and cowl
(no scoop)?which I have no use for with my set up.? Anyone want to trade or have
one for sale? I'm located in South Florida.? Just thought I would check before
ordering one from Vans.

Your right,it is listed as U-612 on my RV-6A plans. The specs say it is a
Simco # SF-4048-16. And like you I can not find it in Van's parts list. As
someone else said, it does look like an iolite top hat bearing. If need be
I could scan the spec drawing section with the dimensions.

Note: ACS has a SYMMCO SF-4048-20 listed in their web catalog that
differs only in length (1.25" v 1").
Google for SYMMCO for details.

Hi Ralph and Doug,
Yup, its a standard Oilite flanged bushing. The P/N says it is
flanged 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 1" long. You can get it at any bearing store
that stocks the oilite style bearings. Bunting is also another
manufacturer of "oilite" type bearings. If you can not find anyone,
then let me know and I'll get some for you. Probably off my shelf or if
I have to, order them with my next order of oilite bearings.

| Subject: | Re: Cowl Fasteners |
I have hinges only for fasteners on my -4 and have had almost zero
problems in 1435 hours. The only problem so far was a rivet broke behind
the spinner where the hinges (extruded type) join the top and bottom
cowl halves. This area is subject to the most stress and if I were doing
another, I would use 2 or 3 screws instead. Otherwise, I have had no
broken eyes or chipped paint, etc. I was pretty careful when bonding and
riveting to make sure there was no built-in stress on the hinge halves.
The cowl attaches to the fuselage with 1/8" hinges, but uses a 3/32" pin
on the highly curved top half. It sure is easy to remove for
maintenance. Just another data point.

Also consider countersunk 8-32 screws (six each side) for the bottom,
with platenuts mounted on a strip riveted to lower firewall flange. Not
a problem in 450+ hours on my RV-6A.

| Subject: | Rudder Trim Tab Material? |
Hey all...looking for some bright ideas on a trim tab. I made one out of wood.
A wedge shape. Taped on the rudder and nailed the size and location...pure
luck. Anyway, what have others seen that would look very clean and work well?
How did you fasten it? I was thinking of a solid piece of machined alluminum,
but not sure how to mount it on the skin.
