Poor Starving Pilot... Paul CVX ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:44 AM PST US From: "William Bernard" Subject: Tailwind-List: Nose Gear Problem While working on my condition inspection, I found the nose gear strut would rotate slightly in the socket. Further inspection showed that the bolt was loose in the hole in both the socket and in the strut. I know why this happened . The holes still appear round in the socket, just a bit too large. I'm contemplating ways to fix this. Candidates so far: 1) Oversize bolt - Does anyone know if there is such a thing in a nominal 5/16" diameter and a source of supply that will sell one? 2) Fill hole with JB Weld and insert bolt. A variation on this would be to fill the hole with JBWeld and then ream to fit when the stuff hardens. 3) Ream the gear leg to some larger size (3/8"?) and install a either a press fit sleeve which is then reamed to fit, or use a larger bolt. An 8 mm metric bolt would also be a possibility if I can find a grade 8 bolt and reamer. Any comments from the group as to the best way to proceed? Other suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

I tried to update the database in it a couple of weeks ago and they told me it was no longer available for that unit. They offered to give me $100.00 tradein on a 500. I told them never mind I would get a Garmin. So that being said I would sell mine for $250.00. I paid $400 for it.................Bob 149 I also told them I would tell everyone how proud I am of their product support..................
