REFLECTOR: New Nose Gear (RG

[Andy Millin]

Did you create a shim behind the nose gear bumper?  You will need around a
5/16" shim pad behind the new bumper.

I installed my new nose gear shock the same way, but somehow the gear leg is
contacting the rubber. Maybe use more weight on the nose?

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.
