REFLECTOR: New Nose Gear (RG

[John Tvedte]

Kurt,

Been there...  Check your King-Pin angle.  Likely you can shim out your bumper more - and not have to re-make the captivator.

Well, I got the new nose gear installed with the upgraded bumper. I weighed down the nose with 120 lbs, then used my ratchet tie down and scrunched it down even further. Put in the captivator plate.. no problem.

Once I let the weight off, the captivator plate doesn't even touch the nose gear. It is not tight at all. Great. Something else I have to re-design.

Back to work (real work) to rest & ponder.

 Kurt
