(Paul Besing) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 11:57:51 AM PST US From: "Ralph E. Capen" Subject: RV-List: 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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:57:50 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: Nosewheel Fork bushing Drawing 62 From: James H Nelson 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Jim Nelson ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 08:33:40 PM PST US From: "H.Ivan Haecker" Subject: Re: RV-List: 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. Ivan Haecker -4 1435 hrs.

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.
