REFLECTOR: Mechanical Nose Gear Doors Part 2

[HYTEC45 at aol.com]

One thing you could do is place oilite flanged bushings at the pivot point  
of the angles and arms where the #10 bolts are.  You could easily do this,  and 
removing a washer or two on the 5/16" bolt will allow for the increased  
span.  These are the same bushings used on the hinges of the  elevator.  Make sure 
that you have enough spring pressure to keep the doors  open in flight 
against any air flow.
 
If/when my hydraulic system goes down (11 years and counting) I would surly  
consider your system.
