I'm guessing that this was so the Nose Gear Strut Assembly (7L1-1J) doesn't hit the stops before 7L1-1J rides in 7F8-6. I made my own 7L1-1J and have the same issue. I figured I made 7L1-1J about 1mm too long (not much). I think John Marzulli has the same issue with his kit.

(was CH701 front lower bearing plate (7F8-4) location?) You are correct Curt. I found that using the kit supplied parts, I was concerned that the top strut cover, 7L1-5J, would be coming down on the top support possibly bending or breaking the bolts that hold it in place. My solution was to add a couple of .125 spacers to raise the top plate about an 1/8 of an inch above the top plate. And yes, later I did put longer bolts through the bottom bracket with proper thread extensions showing. I think somewhere on my DVD there are additional pictures that show the longer bolts.

(was CH701 front lower bearing plate (7F8-4) location?) From: John Marzulli My problem is similar, but not the same. The bungee cord is not under much tension, but full extension should not cause any banging on the steering stops.

(was CH701front lower bearing plate (7F8-4) location?) John, Actually, the interference (banging) is when the front gear is fully retracted as when in flight. What I was talking about was putting in a spacer to make the stop plate (7L1-5J) higher. You are talking about making 7L1-5J lower in order to pre-load the bungee - correct? If you do that, the Nose Gear Strut Assembly (7L1-1J) is going to be held up in flight by the Stop Plate (7L1-5J) which will hit (i.e. rest on) the Upper Channel, top support (7F7-1SP). As George was saying, you might bend 7F7-1SP or break it loose.

(was CH701 front lower bearing plate (7F8-4) location?) I had the same problem with the "gap" in spite of the fact that I made the 7F8-6R&L 3 times. I made a 4th set which are custom fit and higher when I assembled the strut. I did not like the gap which was about 3mm when the strut was sitting in place. --- On Tue, 3/24/09, George Race wrote: > From: George Race > Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: Spacer between 7F8-4 and 7F8-6?

Hi Curt: Here is part of my picture, Nose Gear 2.jpg from the DVD Note there is a very small tapered opening from the back of the bearing plate. Also note the longer "final" bolts in the bearing mount with extra spacer. I am not sure what I am seeing in your picture. Looks like the floor pan is sort of bent up away from the mounting bracket below it. Maybe just an illusion the way the picture was taken. I don't see that same floor pan warp in my picture, but it is taken from a slightly different direction. Will keep looking to see if I have any better picture of the area.

BTW: Zenith "solved" this problem on the 601. The channel is wider than the plate. So the plate fits inside the U of the channel. I wonder what they do on the 750? Given the resemblance of the 750's firewall to the 601 I be it uses the same approach. -- Craig From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of George Race Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 5:50 PM Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: CH701 front lower bearing plate (7F8-4) location? Hi Curt: Here is part of my picture, Nose Gear 2.jpg from the DVD Note there is a very small tapered opening from the back of the bearing plate. Also note the longer "final" bolts in the bearing mount with extra spacer. I am not sure what I am seeing in your picture. Looks like the floor pan is sort of bent up away from the mounting bracket below it. Maybe just an illusion the way the picture was taken. I don't see that same floor pan warp in my picture, but it is taken from a slightly different direction. Will keep looking to see if I have any better picture of the area.
